• Navigate difficult caregiving decisions and family issues

• Assess current needs and anticipate future care challenges

• Develop an effective care plan and problem-solve barriers

• Offer supportive listening in a confidential, nonjudgmental environment

• Develop a support system.

• Exchange practical information on challenges and possible solutions.
