Category:Caregiving

I would like the name of a counselor that would help me with caregiving of my 70 year old husband.

My husband had a stroke 5 1/2 years ago, and I am his caregiver.  I am hoping you can give me the name of a professional counselor, preferably someone familiar with caregivers' concerns.   I live in the Northeast area of Philadelphia, PA.

Any and all help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi,

 

It would be difficult for me to recommend a specific counselor.  To locate one in your area I would contact the Philadelphia Department of Aging which can be found on the web at: http://app1.health.state.pa.us/aging/bycounty.asp?county=Philadelphia.  The phone number is: (215) 232-6500.

 

Hope you find the help you need.
