  • Description:
    You may be one of the millions of people in this country who provides care for an older adult—a parent, grandparent, other family member, professional caregiver, or a close friend. For most caregivers, the older adult’s health is the overriding concern. Most want to see older adults in their care live better, longer lives and stay mobile and independent. One way you can help is by learning about traumatic brain injury, or TBI—how to prevent it and recognize and respond to it when it does occur.
