The following organizations are good resources for information on caregiving for older adults:
- National Institute on Aging -- www.nia.nih.gov/health
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- www.cdc.gov/caregiving/
- Family Caregiver Alliance -- www.caregiver.org/
- US Department of Health and Human Services -- www.hhs.gov/aging/long-term-care/index.html
