WELCOME to Caring From a Distance (CFAD)—an organization for long-distance caregivers.

Are you one of the 6.9 million Americans struggling to care for an aging parent or other loved one who lives in a far-away city? If you are, we are here to help.

Whether you live across-the-world or an hour away, you and your family face special challenges. Where can you find the local resources they require? How can you, family and friends communicate in an emergency? What can you do to help when you visit? CFAD is here to help:

• If you are in a crisis and need assistance fast, click on Service Directories to find local help. We'll get you to a local professional or a telephone counselor.
  
  
• If you need to learn more about elder care and distance caregiving, just click on What To Do or Library.
  
  
• If you need to talk over upcoming decisions, you can organize a free conference call to share concerns and latest news.

Caring from a Distance is an independent, non-profit organization. We take no referral fees from service providers.
