Caregiving International will teach families, schools, and communities how to care for older adults. As elders age, they are at risk to societal crime, older adult abuse, neglect, and exploitation of their finances. Research reveals that many family members are primary abusers in most cases of older adult abuse. Community awareness, outreach, and education are key strategies to impact those who need our services. We believe humanity will continue to suffer if we neglect our elders and fail to instill humane values in our younger generations.
Every donation, helps impact your families, schools, and communities.
