Caring for Caregivers

About Rexall Care Network
Twenty years and over twenty million dollars raised later, Rexall Care Network continues our work of giving back and supporting local communities. In 2018, we pivoted from a broad focus to one of greater intentionality around a need that is growing exponentially and is presently underserved…unpaid caregivers.
Each day at Rexall Care Network, we take active steps to take care of caregivers, so they can care for the ones they love.
Rexall Care Network Ambassador Hayley Wickenheiser on the Critical Importance of Caregiving
Why Caregivers?
Caregivers support and advocate for loved ones, representing front lines of care. Theirs is a labour of love and it is also an enormous load to carry, with rippling impact on caregiver health and wellbeing.
The Rexall Care Network brings greater focus, support, and resources to this critical cause and forgotten population, whose wholehearted work speaks to us as an organization and as individuals with care stories of our own.

Shout Out to the Caregivers on Team Rexall
I support RCN because I was once a caregiver, so I understand the hardships that can come with such an experience. It's vital to be positive and supportive, but it can also be mentally exhausting.

Shout Out to the Caregivers on Team Rexall
RCN means a lot to me as I was a caregiver for my 90-year-old grandmother for one year until she passed away.

Shout Out to the Caregivers on Team Rexall
I have been a caregiver for my mother since 2017, when she was involved in a tragic car accident. It has been challenging and rewarding to make sure she is well cared for.
