The Training Manual for Informal Caregivers of Older Persons, developed as part of the CAReS project, aims to address this challenge by providing essential training on topics like understanding the ageing process, practical assistance, health management, financial literacy, and caregiver self-care. This timely intervention by Dr. Eniola Cadmus seeks to enhance family care and support for older persons in Nigeria.
