Few people identify themselves as family caregivers and yet nearly 80% of adults who receive care at home rely exclusively on unpaid family members to keep them safe and comfortable and provide for their daily personal and medical needs. Family caregivers accept their roles gladly but are generally unprepared for the activities and stresses they unquestioningly assume.

Tens of thousands of other caregivers are paid for their services but face serious challenges of inadequate training and limited career development. No wonder we are on the brink of critical shortages of caregivers to support our growing senior population.

The FSL Caregiver House has been created to address these critical needs. It is a training facility, demonstration lab, and information and referral site designed to educate, support and advocate for family and paid caregivers as well as for seniors and adults with disabilities who actively manage their own care needs.

The FSL Caregiver House promotes life balance, well being, dignity and independence for individuals striving to help themselves or others continue to live in connection to community. Our professional social workers, trainers, program leaders and dedicated volunteers leverage community resources, set standards of excellence and create a center of energy and renewal.
