A study sponsored by National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, found that more than one in five, 21 percent or 22.9 million people in U.S. households were involved in helping care for a person older than 18. The typical family caregiver provides more than 20 hours of care each week to a loved one. The demand for in- home care will significantly increase as the population increases in age. 

GivingCare's mission is to promote proficient implementation of care.

This is accomplished by teaching family caregivers simple methods of the trade to enhance the comfort of their ailing loved ones. In collaboration with medical staff, GivingCare has written a comprehensive script focusing on crucial points of home healthcare. This information is being shared to help the home caregiver provide the best care possible in the absence of formal medical training. GivingCare aims to show you ways to make your bed-bound loved ones as comfortable as possible which should enhance their well-being and dignity. GivingCare Inc. is a non-for-profit organization that focuses care, not the illness. 

The topics that are covered within this site are provided as links on the left hand column of this page under the heading "General Topics of Care". This information can be used to help you or someone you know care for a bed-bound loved one who may be recovering from an illness or injury. This also can be accessed when caring for a person who may be terminally
ill.
