Do you provide help to an older family member?  Or, are you an older adult who needs some help from family members?  If so, you’re part of a caregiving family.

Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University is looking for caregiving families to help test an online communication and care coordination resource designed to help families talk and make decisions about caregiving.
