CAREGIVERS ASSOCIATION
The National Family Caregivers Association publishes a quarterly magazine for people who care for medically impaired family members. The current issue covers a wealth of information including federal legislation, tips for "dealing with" healthcare systems, and results of research about caregivers. NFCA estimates that 54 million Americans cared for someone in their home last year -- often for long periods of time and including some forms of nursing care. For more information, see
