Caring for another individual can be challenging and rewarding and has been especially hard during Covid-19. Officials with Connections Area Agency on Aging ask, “Do you know someone, or are you, caring for an older individual? Do they live in Adair, Adams, Cass, Cherokee, Clarke, Decatur, Fremont, Harrison, Ida, Pottawattamie, Mills, Monona, Montgomery, Page, Plymouth, Ringgold, Shelby, Taylor, Union or Woodbury county?”

If so, the Agency we would like to hear about that caregiver. How do they take care of themselves and manage the stress? Connections will be honoring the great work of caregivers during National Family Caregiver Month – November 2020. Please share, in 250 words or less, how the awesome caregiver you’re writing about does with their caregiving duties.

Mail or e-mail submissions to:

Jan Schnack, Family Caregiver Specialist,

Connections Area Agency on Aging,

231 S. Main Street, Council Bluffs, IA 51503

or JSchnack@connectionsaaa.org

All caregivers submitted will be honored during November.
