Support for Caregivers

At BILH, our daily work helps create healthy communities—one person at a time. For many of us, though, our caregiving responsibilities don’t end when our day is complete. It is estimated that as many as 50% of employed individuals in Massachusetts also provide unpaid care for a loved one at home.

Whether it’s your children, an aging parent, or another loved one, we know unpaid caregiving can tap your resources and make you feel off balance. For that reason, BILH invests in programs to support you in your unpaid caregiving, including resources to help you find, pay for, and plan care for your loved ones. This month, we spotlight those resources that can help you bring balance to your unpaid caregiver responsibilities.
