Caregiver & Family Support Resources

You Care for Them. We Care About You.

Caring for an aging parent, veteran, adult with a disability, or loved one with ongoing support needs can be meaningful—but it can also feel overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating.

Victory House Adult Center of Excellence recognizes the essential role family caregivers play every day. This page connects caregivers and families throughout San Angelo and the Concho Valley with trusted information, practical assistance, and community resources.

You do not have to navigate the caregiving journey alone.

Taking Care of Yourself Matters

Caregivers often focus so completely on their loved one that their own health and well-being are pushed aside. Taking time to care for yourself is not selfish—it helps you continue providing safe and compassionate care.

Try to:

  • Ask trusted relatives or friends for specific help

  • Schedule regular medical appointments for yourself

  • Rest whenever safe help is available

  • Eat regularly and stay hydrated

  • Keep a written list of medications and care instructions

  • Join a caregiver support group

  • Speak with a counselor, faith leader, or trusted professional

  • Explore respite care before reaching a crisis point

  • Call for immediate help if caregiving becomes unsafe or unmanageable

You deserve support, rest, and compassion too.

Planning for Your Loved One’s Care

Keeping important information organized can make appointments, emergencies, and care transitions easier.

Consider maintaining a caregiver folder containing:

  • Current medications and dosages

  • Medical conditions and allergies

  • Healthcare providers and contact information

  • Insurance and benefits information

  • Emergency contacts

  • Legal documents and advance directives

  • Medical or durable power of attorney documents

  • Daily routines and support needs

  • Transportation arrangements

  • Preferred hospital and pharmacy

  • Questions for upcoming appointments

Share essential information only with trusted individuals and authorized service providers.
