Enhancing Caring Communities: A Toolkit for Organizations to Better Support Caregivers
Getting Started
This toolkit was developed to help community-based organizations improve services and support to family and friend (unpaid) caregivers. It was created with input from 46 professionals representing 23 home- and community-based organizations operating in 15 states that participated in the National Caregiving Learning Collaborative. The toolkit is divided into five steps, with interactive organizational assessments and additional resources to help you navigate the process. For each step, we provide a template for your organization to use and examples of completed assessments from two National Caregiving Learning Collaborative participant organizations.
