Regional Caregiver Network
Currently there are nine Networks across the province that work to reach out and connect with unpaid caregivers in their region. Many have support groups meetings, days away and information sessions for unpaid caregivers.
Each Network has a membership of unpaid caregivers, health professionals and other interested individuals in the region that can bring strength to the Network as one that can bring caregivers out of isolation .
Below are the contacts for each Regional Network. If you are an unpaid caregiver ( your age or the age of the person you are taking care of does not matter) or know anyone who could benefit, please contact the person in your region or call our toll free line: 1-888- 571-CARE( 2273)
