Redwood Caregiver Resource Center We provide information, services and support to families caring for loved ones with chronic and disabling conditions.

We support family caregivers in the Redwood region of Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Lake, Sonoma, Napa, and Solano counties. "Caring For People Who Care" - Our professional staff works with families and caregivers to provide support, alleviate stress and examine options, enabling them to make decisions for and with the adults in their care. We also identify services for meeting the caregiver's needs, helping them cope in their care role. Our family consultants provide an assessment of caregiver needs, short and long-term care planning, and ongoing consultation. Additional services include: assistance with respite care, legal/financial consultations, education/training, counseling and connection to support groups. Speakers are available for community presentations. Families and caregivers of cognitively-impaired adults, and frail elderly living in our 7-county service area are eligible for our informational, referral, support and training services. We value diversity: whatever your ethnicity, religion, country of origin, language, abilities, sexual orientation, or gender, you are welcome here. Please contact us at:

Understanding your loved one's condition isn't just information. It's the foundation for everything else.

When you know what you're working with, you can set expectations that are actually realistic, both for them and for yourself.

Learning about a diagnosis takes time, and you don't have to piece it together alone. A Family Consultant or one of our online educational resources can help you understand what's ahead and what kind of support fits your situation. Get connected with us through https://www.redwoodcrc.org/contact

Caregiving takes a toll that doesn't always show up on the outside. You can be managing everything on the list and still be running on empty.

Caring for your own mental health isn't separate from caring for someone else. It's what makes it possible to keep going. That might look like counseling, a support group, or simply having someone to talk to who gets it.

This World Mental Health Day, we want caregivers to hear this clearly: your wellbeing matters too, and asking for support isn't a sign you're failing. A Family Consultant can help you find support that fits your life right now. 💛 Connect with us and take the next step towards recieving extra help at https://www.redwoodcrc.org/.

When someone living with dementia gets combative, it's easy to read it as aggression. It's usually the opposite.

Behavior is communication. When someone can't express what they need in words, their body does it for them. Anger often means a person feels unsafe or powerless, and instinctively, anger is how we try to feel strong again. It's a survival response, not a character flaw.

If you're navigating behavior changes in someone you care for, a Family Consultant can help you understand what's underneath it and how to respond in the moment.

Managing a loved one's medications, driving them to appointments, handling their finances so nothing falls through the cracks, is caregiving, even when no one has put a name to it yet.

We offer free online classes for families navigating care, whether you're just starting out as a caregiver or are years into it. No cost, no pressure, just practical guidance whenever you need extra support.

Nearly seven million Latinos in the U.S. provide unpaid care to an aging or older loved one.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we're recognizing the family caregivers managing medications, doctor visits, and daily care for the people who raised them, work that rarely comes with a title but always comes with weight. Many carry that role for years, often while raising their own children or working full time.

If that responsibility sounds familiar, we have free resources and real support available - connect with us at www.redwoodcrc.org

September is Su***de Prevention Month - earlier this month, RCRC participated in the Connection is Prevention conference, sponsored by Sonoma County Behavioral Health and Council on Aging.

At RCRC, we know that caregiver support is su***de prevention.

Older men face some of the highest su***de rates in the country, and retirement often removes the routines, purpose, and social connections that once kept people steady. For many, caregiving responsibilities land in that same stretch of life, adding weight to an already vulnerable moment.

That's exactly where support changes the outcome. We offer many resources for family caregivers, often navigating their own life with the care of another. From family consulting, a support group, or a caregiver line that answers, we're here for you, while you're there for them.

Because nobody should have to figure this out by themselves. 💛

Need somewhere to turn for extra help? Give us a call (707) 542-0282.

What looks like "difficult behavior" in a loved one with dementia is often the disease, not the person.

Alexis Glidewell, our Executive Director, breaks down what's really behind confusion, agitation, and resistance in dementia care, and how understanding the cause changes the way you respond to it in the moment. That shift in perspective can make an exhausting situation feel a little more manageable.

If moments like this hit close to home, our caregiver line and family consultants are here to help you work through what comes next. 💛 (707) 542-0282
