Every November the President of the United States proclaims November to be National Family Caregivers Month. It is designated as a time every year to thank, support, educate and celebrate more than 50 million family caregivers across the country currently providing an estimated $306 billion in “free” caregiving services.

We at AGIS desire to be a place to give caregivers support, encouragement and the resources they need to continue on this labor of love. Through our online community you can connect with other caregivers to share advice, stories and support. Through our website caregivers can find vital information including how to plan for long term care or how to prepare a home for a loved one.

National Family Caregivers Month highlights the need for caregivers to speak up and get the help they need. While caregivers are adept at helping others they sometimes are not able to ask for or find the help they need. Through AGIS.com caregivers can connect with local services including support services that can help ease a caregiver’s responsibilities and work load. AGIS offers all these resources in one location and makes finding the information caregivers need easy.

At AGIS we want to thank the countless individuals who give of themselves to help a care for a loved one. Caregivers are our heroes and our passion is to partner with them to provide the vital information and help they need.
