Caregiver Action Network is the nation’s leading family caregiver organization working to improve the quality of life for the more than 90 million Americans who care for loved ones with chronic conditions, disabilities, disease, or the frailties of old age.

 

CAN serves a broad spectrum of family caregivers ranging from the parents of children with significant health needs to the families and friends of wounded soldiers; from a young couple dealing with a diagnosis of MS, to adult children caring for parents with Alzheimer’s disease. Since 1992, CAN (formerly the National Family Caregivers Association) has provided education, peer support, and resources to family caregivers across the country free of charge.

 

CAN reaches caregivers on multiple platforms. Through its website, CAN provides tailored resources to four caregiving profiles: first-time family caregivers; experienced caregivers; long-distance caregivers; and working family caregivers. CAN also operates HelpForCancerCaregivers.org – a web tool for caregivers of loved ones with cancer; and RareCaregivers.org – a guide for family caregivers of loved ones with rare diseases.
