Anyone who is caring for an aging friend, relative, or parent from afar can be considered a long-distance caregiver. Whether you are helping with finances, arranging for care, or providing emotional support, long-distance caregiving can bring a host of unique challenges.

Keep these tips in mind to help make life more manageable:

• Learn as much as you can about your loved one’s health, treatments, and available caregiving resources.
• Organize important paperwork.
• Consider caregiving training.
