Family Caregiver Foundation

Family Caregiver Foundation To provide practical and emotional support for family caregivers of the terminally ill, disabled children, adults and/or seniors.

The effects of caring for a chronically or terminally ill family member are rapidly becoming a public health concern for the family caregiver. There is an average of 44 million caregivers in this country alone, providing unpaid emotional and physical support. Many of these caregivers are ill prepared to care for the family member, often at risk to their own health. These caregivers suffer from emo

tional, mental and physical ailments arising from the stressful nature of caring for others. Emotional affects can cause
• Exhaustion
• Stress
• Social Withdrawal
• Irritability
• Moodiness

Mental affects can cause
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Increased Su***de rates
• Increase substance abuse (alcohol, prescription drugs and illegal substances)

Physical affects can cause
• Reduced immune response
• Higher rate of hospitalization
• Higher rate of headaches, gastrointestinal problems and insomnia
• Increased risk of heart disease


Family caregivers are strong, loving, and devoted individuals. They provide care to their loved ones out of love and devotion, and unfortunately, at the loss of their own self-care
