As the “Voice of the Caregiver,” the Maryland Commission on Caregiving wants to know more about the experiences of family caregivers in the state, and we need your help.
Family caregivers are people who assist adults ages 18 or older with disabilities, illnesses, diseases, or limitations that make it hard for them to take care of themselves. Caregivers help with things like personal care, household chores, managing money, arranging services from others, or regularly visiting to check on how they are doing.
We have developed a 15-minute online and anonymous survey that asks questions about the person being cared for and the caregiver’s knowledge of available programs and priorities for supports and services. If you care for someone, we would appreciate it if you could take the time to complete the survey through the link below.
If you aren’t a caregiver but know other caregivers, please consider forwarding this survey to them so we can obtain as many responses as possible. If you complete the survey, you will have the chance to enter a raffle where 50 people will be randomly chosen to get a $20 e-gift card.
This study is being conducted by the Maryland Department of Human Services and the Maryland Commission on Caregiving in collaboration with the University of Maryland, School of Social Work. The below link will take you to the survey, thank you for your consideration to participate.
