Dealing with health care in the community can feel like a juggling act. As a family caregiver, making an appointment for your family member to see a doctor may be the easy part. After that, you may be arranging a home care worker to go with your family member or to come early to get your family member ready. Or you may be arranging transportation, or a friend to pick your child up from school, while a colleague covers for you at work. There may be insurance referrals, co-pays, and other issues.
