Care for the Caregiver
SUPPORTING THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT EVERYONE ELSE
Every day, family caregivers perform extraordinary acts of love. They manage medications, coordinate appointments, provide transportation, prepare meals, advocate for loved ones, and offer emotional support through some of life’s most difficult moments. Yet caregivers often put their own needs last.
The Edel Caregiver Institute was created to change that. As part of Georgia Care Innovators, the Edel Caregiver Institute provides education, resources, support, and encouragement for family caregivers throughout coastal Georgia.
WHY CAREGIVER SUPPORT MATTERS
Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also be physically, emotionally, and financially demanding.
Research shows that family caregivers are at increased risk for stress, anxiety, depression, social isolation, physical health challenges, and caregiver burnout.
The Edel Caregiver Institute has become a trusted resource for families caring for loved ones living with dementia.
The Edel Caregiver Institute is honored to have received recognition from Maude’s Awards for Innovation in Alzheimer’s Care.
The Edel Caregiver Institute is another example of how Georgia Care Innovators identifies unmet needs and develops compassionate solutions.
Thanks to the support of community partners, donors, and the Georgia Care Innovators Foundation, many programs and services are offered at no cost.
