Those of us here at Senior Spectrum had some questions that we would like to pose to the community at large. We know what a challenge it can be to become a family caregiver, we were hoping that those of you out there who are family caregivers could give us more of an insight as to what is going on. As well as insight for those who could become family caregivers.

2. What advice would you give a new family caregiver?
