Family Caregiving

Helping you take care of yourself, so you can take better care of your loved one.

We’re here to support you.

Taking care of an aging loved one is a complicated journey. We are here to help you throughout your caregiving journey. Most family members don’t consider the care they provide as “caregiving” – they’re just doing what comes naturally. However, a family caregiver is defined as someone who provides unpaid care for a loved one. And whether that care is provided in town or across the country, it’s a responsibility that can take a physical, mental, and emotional toll.

Hope for dementia family caregivers

Duet’s is honored to have been invited by CBS News’ national correspondent Barry Petersen to help elevate the voices of family caregivers through a story featured on CBS Saturday Morning. Petersen sat down with family caregivers and Duet’s Executive Director, Ann Wheat, to learn more about the complex grief and challenging path that family caregivers face. Duet’s Meaning & Hope Institute is committed to providing caregivers with compassionate support to at every step of caregiving journey, while increasing access to critically need support services through our dedicated community partners.
