Native America Calling: Help for family caregivers

Help for family caregivers
At least 44 percent of Native caregivers surveyed say they are the only person available to tend to their loved one. And at least 8 out of 10 say their cultural commitment is an important factor in caring for an elder or someone else needing it.
But people don’t always have to take on giving care alone. Tribes and organizations offer a wide range of options to ease the burden.
