The stress involved in caring for senior citizens can be overwhelming.  The Ford County Public Health Department extends a program that supports those caregivers, who could use resource assistance.  A helpful program will be available for caregivers in both Ford and Iroquois County every third Thursday at the Watseka Public Library. 

Becky Beck is Caregiver Advisor for the Ford County Public Health Department in Paxton ....

"This is a support group for those with the task of caring for seniors," Beck tells WGFA listeners.  "

The Caregivers Advisory Services is available for the two-county area.  The group will meet on the 3rd Thursdays from 1:30 - 2:30 pm at the Watseka Lirbary.  It begins this Thursday 4/18.  More info can be found on the Ford County Health department website or call 217-379-9281.
