WELCOME TO THE CARING MATTERS WEBSITE AND TO THE E-CAREline

The Caregiver Assistance Network is a program of Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio that works collaboratively with other service providers and religious groups in the community to meet the needs of family and volunteer caregivers in the Greater Cincinnati Area.  We are funded in part by the Ohio Department of Aging through the Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio.

CAN exists to advance the human dignity and welfare of family and volunteer caregivers in continuing to provide compassionate, respectful, quality care for their loved ones while being attentive to their own physical emotional and spiritual needs.  CAN is committed to advancing caregivers’ and care receivers dignity, freedom and respect, not only for one another, but also in the community.

We sincerely hope that you glean some useful information to use on your journey as a caregiver and will come back as often as you need.  Our e-CAREline door is always open to you.
