Welcome to the Alberta Caregivers Association!

A caregiver is a family member or friend who provides unpaid care for a loved one living with challenges due to disability, illness, or aging.

The Alberta Caregivers Association (ACGA) is the province's only grassroots organization exclusively dedicated to helping caregivers maintain their own well-being.

We are an organization of caregivers for caregivers that helps them maintain their own well-being over the caregiving journey. We offer information, education, support, networking, advocacy, and community development to make caregivers' lives less difficult.
