In North Carolina, there are over 1.7 million family caregivers, people who care of a loved one at some point of time each year.  But who is taking care of the caregiver? It is important for caregivers to be equipped with the knowledge of how to assist loved one with daily living activities, appointments and creating a healthy living environment. But of equal importance is prioritizing your own health and wellbeing.
