This site shares our first hand experience in dealing with elder care. This site is for you! If you are going through this process now or just thinking about it, let our first hand experience at least help you become more efficient along the way. We will share what we learned, resources that were helpful and those that were not. We discuss our pitfalls, the emotional roller coaster, the decision process, the path we took, the financial impact, the setbacks and the triumphs. The journey we undertook in discovery that our mother-Martha's journey would be both painful and rewarding.

The CareGivers, Inc. mission is to assist the frail, elderly, and disabled in order that they may maintain their independence and dignity. The progams goal is to provide non-medical support to the frail, elderly, and disabled of the Greater Nashua and Greater Manchester areas, enabling them to maintain their independence and dignity. CareGivers also provides a personal presence for individuals who have little or no personal contact with others. We provide service to individuals who may not receive aide through the human service system and do not qualify for government-assisted programs or sliding fees. We also provide service to those individuals who may be receiving assistance from other agencies, but have additional needs which have gone unmet.
Individuals most commonly served by services, within the home and community, are seniors, adults with a physical disability or chronic illnessthat continue to live independently in their homes.
