Abstract/ Summary
It is important to remember that not all resources are dependent upon income. Health care professionals should remind patients to ask about options that they have. Local resources for caregivers include the Local Area Agency on Aging, the Maine Alzheimer’s Association Helpline, and the Bureau of Elder and Adult Services. Nationwide resources for professionals in regard to caregiving include the Family Caregiver Alliance, the US Administration on Aging, and the American Medical Association. By keeping these resources in mind and utilizing them when available, caregivers will be better prepared before a crisis occurs.
