What is Caregiver Connection?
The Caregiver Connection is a group for caregivers seeking support, connection, and understanding as they care for someone with a life-limiting illness. Learn about caregiving and community resources, share experiences, and connect with others on a similar journey.
When is the group?
The Caregiver Connection meets on the 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month from 1 pm- 2:30 pm in Stratford.

What is a Caregiver?
A caregiver is someone who provides support to a family member, friend, neighbour or someone else they care about who is living with a life-limiting illness, age-related decline or other health challenges.
You might be a caregiver if you:
-
Help with appointments, medications or daily routines
-
Provide transportation or help with errands and groceries
-
Prepare meals or help around the home
-
Offer emotional support, companionship or a listening ear
-
Help someone make decisions or communicate with healthcare providers
-
Provide personal care or hands-on assistance
-
Coordinate care or keep track of appointments and information
-
Check in regularly because you’re concerned about how someone is doing
-
You make yourself available when someone needs you
You don’t have to live with the person, be related to them, or provide care every day to be a caregiver. You may not even think of yourself as a caregiver. You may simply be someone who cares.
If you recognize yourself here, Caregiver Connection is for you.
