Three Professionals New Family Caregivers Need

When you connect with the right professionals early, you have a much better chance of keeping a life during a life of caregiving.

When a family member needs your help, it can feel overwhelming to know where to turn. Connecting with these three professionals at the start of your caregiving journey gives you a team of support to call on as your needs change.

1

An Attorney

Make sure the important legal documents are in order — including powers of attorney, advance directives, and any contracts related to care. An attorney can also help create agreements if a family member is being reimbursed for providing care.

2

A Financial Planner

Start planning for how to budget for care now and into the future. A financial planner can help you understand what care may cost, what resources are available, and how to protect your loved one's financial well-being over time.

3

A Caregiving Coach

A Certified Caregiving Consultant brings ideas, resources, strategies, and support tailored to your unique caregiving experience. Most importantly, they know your story — so you never have to start over from the beginning.
