Caregiver support
Being a caregiver may be one of the most important roles you ever have. It's important to remember to prioritize your well-being and seek support when needed. Taking care of a loved one can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging and exhausting at times.
Outside of family and friends, government programs, nonprofits, and community resources are available for assistance. Caregivers often need a trusted and reliable source to turn to, along with an extra set of hands.
If you are caring for a loved one living with complex healthcare needs, you may need assistance with one or more daily activities. Sentara Medicare Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) can provide support with basic daily activities, including:
- Grocery shopping and errands
- Gardening
- Meal preparation
- Light housework
- Tech help

You may need to manage your loved one’s personal affairs, like healthcare. Since Sentara Medicare is locally based, you can look to us for help when choosing a health plan. Sentara Medicare D-SNPs can help with care coordination and management of your loved one’s medical needs.
