Did you know 67% of caregivers state that other people are involved in providing care for the care recipient? It takes a village to provide good care, which in most cases means working together with professional and family caregivers. In fact, 25% of family caregivers are also helping to care for more than one individual.

With so many people working together to care for multiple individuals, caregiving can easily get complicated.

LifeCourseOnline is here to help. LCO is designed to leverage your entire network of support by connecting service providers, professional caregivers, family members, and team members in one place.
