There would also be therapist that can help either in person or over the phone 24 hours a day to assist both the informal care giver as well as the elderly person being cared for. It would be a place where families that are caring for loved ones can get help and answers to all of their questions no matter what time of day. It would be 24 hours a day because often the feeling of despair and being overwhelmed doesn’t keep normal business hours. Caregivers may have the need to talk to someone about
