You are not alone

We are families, caregivers, people with disabilities, and aging Americans creating a new way to live well and age with dignity.

About Us

Every day we’re telling our stories and taking action so that we can have the freedom to make the care choices that are right for us and our families.

Tips For New Caregivers
