"Listen In" with Caregivers Alberta

Who Cares? is a cheeky campaign Caregivers Alberta launched to raise awareness that caregivers are burning out. While they care for their loved one...who cares for them?

Over 2,000 Alberta caregivers were nominated, and three caregivers' names were drawn to win a "Fairmont Caregiver Getaway." This included two nights at their favourite Alberta-based Fairmont hotel, respite care for their loved one, and a gas card for their trip - all sponsored by our partner Bayshore Home Health.

This episode tells Linda Roper's story of winning the trip, caregiving for her husband of 45 years, and the importance of creating awareness of caregiver's contributions...and the prevalence of caregiver burnout in Alberta's one-million family caregivers.

Join Caregivers Alberta executive director Darrel Gregory and director of programs and services Johnna Lowther as they discuss Alberta's one-million unpaid family caregivers and why they need more support. This Talk to the Experts episode aired on
