Redwood Caregiver Resource Center

Redwood Caregiver Resource Center We provide information, services and support to families caring for loved ones with chronic and disabling conditions.

We support family caregivers in the Redwood region of Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Lake, Sonoma, Napa, and Solano counties. "Caring For People Who Care" - Our professional staff works with families and caregivers to provide support, alleviate stress and examine options, enabling them to make decisions for and with the adults in their care. We also identify services for meeting the caregiver's n

eeds, helping them cope in their care role. Our family consultants provide an assessment of caregiver needs, short and long-term care planning, and ongoing consultation. Additional services include: assistance with respite care, legal/financial consultations, education/training, counseling and connection to support groups. Speakers are available for community presentations. Families and caregivers of cognitively-impaired adults, and frail elderly living in our 7-county service area are eligible for our informational, referral, support and training services. We value diversity: whatever your ethnicity, religion, country of origin, language, abilities, sexual orientation, or gender, you are welcome here. Please contact us at:

Many people providing care don't identify as caregivers. 🤲🏼

A daughter helping her mom with appointments. A husband quietly assisting with more tasks than he used to. A neighbor checking in every day without really noticing when that started.

At a recent event, one of the speakers addressed this. She talked about how that gap between what people are doing and how they identify often keeps them from services that were built for this moment in their lives.

If any part of that sounds familiar, we're here to support you in your caregiving journey. 💞

Let us connect you with services such as counseling, group support, educational classes, and more at www.redwoodcrc.org.

Guilt shows up a lot in caregiving, and it doesn't always tell the truth. 💛

When that feeling creeps in, it can help to pause and ask yourself a few questions. Is this entirely accurate? What evidence do I actually have? Does feeling guilty mean I did something wrong, or does it just mean I'm human and doing a hard thing?

You're allowed to challenge the guilt instead of carrying it.

Last month, we joined the CA Department of Aging and American Community Media for a news briefing on family caregiving in Sonoma County. 🎙️

Our Family Consultant, Maisie Hak, spoke from two places at once, as a professional supporting caregivers and as someone supporting her own Vietnamese family. Theresita Ortiz, a caregiver we've walked alongside for over a decade, shared what it's meant to care for her father, and now her mother, while raising her own kids. And RCRC's Program Director, Alexis Glidewell, spoke to what it looks like to meet caregivers where they are.

Different roles, different stories, same truth. Caregiving is happening all around us, often quietly.

Every older adult in our community has a lifetime of stories, relationships, and accomplishments behind them, and today is set aside to recognize that.

Many of them are also being supported day to day by a family member who is learning how to manage medical appointments, medications, and difficult decisions, often for the first time.

RCRC works with these families throughout the Redwood Empire to help them find the right resources and support as those needs change.

Today, we celebrate the older adults who shaped the people who now care for them, and the lives they built along the way.

💭 Feeling guilty doesn't mean you did something wrong.

Guilt is one of the most common emotions caregivers carry, and one of the hardest to shake. But emotions aren't logical, they just show up. The more we try to push them away or justify them, the longer they stick around. Next time guilt creeps in, try asking: did I actually hurt someone, or did I just have a normal human moment?

Noticing guilt without judging it is often the first step to letting it pass. 💛

Today is National Nonprofit Day, and it feels like the right moment to talk about why we're here. 🕯️

Caregiving rarely looks like what people expect. It's not a role you apply for. There's no training, no shift change, no one to hand it off to at the end of the day. It shows up in small moments, a missed birthday, a 2am phone call, a quiet drive to an appointment nobody else knows about.

That's exactly why nonprofits like RCRC exist. Not to hand you a fix. To remind you that showing up for someone else doesn't mean you have it all figured out, and it doesn't mean you're alone.

You are not the only one who shows up. If you need support, we're just a call or click away, link in bio. 💛

🌿 Caregiver wellness isn't optional. It's foundational.

National Wellness Month is a good time to recognize something caregivers often overlook: their own health directly affects their ability to provide care. Rest, movement, and mental health support aren't indulgences, they're part of a sustainable caregiving plan.

At RCRC, we work to make sure caregivers have access to the resources that support their wellbeing, not just the person they're caring for.

If you're a caregiver in need of support, we're here for you. 🫶🏼 Visit us at www.redwoodcrc.org to get connected with resources.
