  • keeping you and your care partner safe and avoiding injury and accidents,
  • decision making about treatment, housing, and outside help,
  • communicating effectively with family, friends, and health professionals,
  • exercising for caregiver and care partner safety, strength, flexibility, and endurance,
  • maintaining healthy nutrition habits, and navigating legal issues related to caregiving.
