Welcome to the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving – an advocacy, education, research, and service unit of Georgia Southwestern State University. The work of a caregiver is done willingly and selflessly. Many caregivers do their work quietly, invisibly and around the clock in homes, hospitals and other places across the country.
We are facing a caregiving crisis in the United States. Our aging population, increased longevity and the growing burden of chronic illnesses escalate the need for caregivers. Caregivers need support and community programs to help them remain healthy and maintain caring for another.
We are here to serve and support both professional and family caregivers. We welcome you and look forward to working with you to support all caregivers. www.rosalynncarter.org
