First Steps for New Family Caregivers When you’re starting out as a family caregiver, it’s hard to know where to begin. Perhaps you’ve only recently realized that a loved one needs assistance, and is no longer as self-sufficient as he or she once was. Or perhaps there has been a sudden change in a loved one’s health. Now it’s time to take action, and take stock of the people, services and information that will help you care for your loved one. The earlier you find support, the better.

Preparing  for Your Doctor’s Appointment Studies have shown that patients who have a good relationship with their doctors tend to receive more accurate diagnoses, respond better to treatment, endure symptoms better, and recover more quickly. Patients with a chronic, on-going condition have to work with their doctor for a long time. The best way to make your visits helpful is to prepare ahead of time.
