I can't imagine how difficult it is to be living with this on top of everything else that is happening in the world. I've been interacting with caregivers for over a year conducting research on the different stages of caregiving and I have a huge amount of respect and empathy for the caregiving community. <br /><br />I'm a project coordinator at the University of California, Berkeley where me and my team are conducting a study on in-home technology for caregivers. This study aims to bring support and awareness to the difficulties caregivers face and provide support for them. <br /><br />Over 300 caregivers have already joined us on our journey and we invite you and your readers to join as well. The technology is easy to use and designed to help, not add a burden to your full plate. <br /><br />If you or your readers are interested in learning more about what my team is doing, please visit https://research.presencefamily.com <br /><br />We'd be so grateful to have you as part of our community! <br /><br />Wishing you all the best, <br />Clarissa Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069172980310072167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489173439865061632.post-39566759317966949412020-10-01T13:09:19.796-04:002020-10-01T13:09:19.796-04:00Hi Zachary (Unprepared Caregiver) - you are so rig...Hi Zachary (Unprepared Caregiver) - you are so right!

From 'visitors' to 'essential partners' is an issue that all of us need to be aware of as family caregiver are always essential. To consider them anything but essential, is to deny the realities, needs, and benefits of family care.

We will persevere, of course. I just hope that lessons are learned about what is most important in a pandemic and how we can maintain safe environments without shutting families out. <br />DonnaThe Caregivers' Living Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920119448415733545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489173439865061632.post-65722013318051938032020-09-30T23:32:44.594-04:002020-09-30T23:32:44.594-04:00Donna, this breaks my heart.
