It's National Family Caregivers month

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich (WOOD) - Many of us are doing the juggle of taking care of our kids and helping out with our parents, too. Caregivers are wives, husbands, parents, children, friends and employees. Anyone who cares for someone else is a caregiver. In the month of November, The Caregiver Resource Network is hosting 22 complimentary events to help caregivers along their journey. Joy visits The Area Agency on Aging to find out what this collaboration of more than 110 West Michigan organizations has to offer for you.
