The Caregiver Action Network

It works to improve the quality of life for the more than 65 million Americans who care for loved ones with chronic conditions, disabilities, diseases, or the frailties of old age. CAN helps a wide range of family caregivers, from the parents of children with special needs to the families and friends of wounded soldiers, from a young couple dealing with a diagnosis of MS to adult children taking care of parents with Alzheimer’s disease. CAN, which used to be called the National Family Caregivers Association, is a non-profit group that gives family caregivers across the country free education, peer support, and resources.

Home Care and Hospice Association of the United States
