Are you an unpaid caregiver who provides care to an older adult (65+) family member, friend or neighbour? We want to hear from you!
A fall can have a lasting impact on an older adult, changing how they live, move and are cared for. Many resources about preventing falls are for seniors or health professionals. Unpaid caregivers may not feel these resources are for them.
To help with this issue, Parachute, Canada’s national injury-prevention charity, and partners, are developing a guide for caregivers about preventing falls. We are looking for input from unpaid caregivers who provide care to an older adult (65+) family member, friend or neighbour.
Unsure if you are a caregiver?
A caregiver is a person who provides unpaid care (e.g., emotional and/or physical support) to a family member, friend or neighbour. Caregiving looks different for everyone – it could be helping around the house for a few hours a week or helping someone get dressed every day. In whatever way you provide care, your role is important and we want to hear from you!
