Your Identity Insight: Active Caregiving
"Caregiving has become central to who I am. Other roles as spouse, employee, and friend feel harder to hold onto. I need real tools, real community, and a plan for what comes next."
Approximately one-third of individuals performing caregiving activities do not self-identify as caregivers, which can delay engagement with available support services. (AARP, 2001; Nadash et al., 2025)
Many caregivers support individuals living with more than one type of dementia. Caregiver Compass™ is designed to support the complexity of mixed and overlapping diagnoses across all stages.
