The National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA) exists to support family caregivers and to
speak out publicly for caregivers' needs. NFCA espouses a philosophy of self-advocacy
and self-care that is predicated on the belief that caregivers who choose to take charge
of their lives, and see caregiving as but one of its facets, are in a position to be happier
and healthier individuals. They are then able to have a higher quality of life and to make a
more positive contribution to the well being of their care recipient, all of which has a
positive impact on society and health care costs.
Through its services in the areas of education and information,
support and validation, public awareness and advocacy, NFCA strives
to minimize the disparity between a caregiver's quality of life and
that of mainstream Americans. Services for family caregivers are noted
below.
