Caregivers

Caregivers provide assistance to another individual suffering from an illness, disability, or other limiting condition. Rural caregivers face additional challenges such as geographical isolation, gaps in rural service delivery systems, and the unique needs of agricultural workers with disabilities. The AgrAbility Project recognizes the unique needs of rural caregivers and provides resources specifically for them.
