Caring for a loved one takes strength. Learn about ways to care for yourself while strengthening the support you provide as a caregiver.

Support for Caregivers

In Texas, about one in five people are caregivers. If you are a caregiver, know that you are not alone and there are resources available to help you and your family. Use this page to learn what a caregiver is, how to take time for yourself, prepare for present and future needs, and to seek supportive services as they are needed.

Family caregivers may provide support to a person with physical, behavioral or medical conditions. They also may help a loved one with their activities of daily living, like bathing, eating, dressing and hygiene. Caregiving can be demanding and exhausting, but also tremendously rewarding.
