Caregiving 

This Guide is intended to suggest resources to caregivers who are providing assistance to family members or friends. The resources described in this Guide discuss medical, practical, and emotional aspects of caregiving. The Guide addresses caregiving for children as well as adults.   

Books listed may be available at your public library. If your library does not own a book you would like to read, the library may be able to borrow a copy for your use from a nearby library. In addition, Connecticut residents may borrow books directly from other public libraries within the state with their own town library card.

Some books, such as directories, may be classified as reference books and available only for use in the library.

Since this resource guide is a publication of Healthnet: Connecticut Consumer Information Network, a program of the Lyman Maynard Stowe Library, University of Connecticut Health Center, it includes Connecticut as well as national resources when they are available.

The Guide includes websites as well as books and pamphlets. Although advertisements may appear on some websites in the Guide, the University of Connecticut Health Center Library makes no recommendations for these products or services nor endorses them.

Some of the books on this resource guide are not included in the collection of the Lyman Maynard Stowe Library at the University of Connecticut Health Center.
