Caregiver Services and Resources

Caregiver Consultation

Entry point into all caregiver services. The assessment will explore your strengths, needs and goals as a family caregiver. The assessment will be used to create a customized caregiver plan that includes goal setting, problem solving, coaching and ongoing support to reach established goals.

 

Caregiver Coaching

Weekly coaching following a consultation in order to reach caregiver goals.

 

P.S. I Understand

Caregiver peer support; former, experienced caregiver volunteers will be matched with new or current caregivers to walk alongside them during their caregiver journey; volunteer role is not to be a constant companion but to be a kind and supportive listener.

 

CaregivingNow

Caregivers are savvy members of online communities–but where can you go to connect with other caregivers online? We are creating a true community space–an online gathering place – where caregivers can come for humor, connection, information and friendship. Join the Facebook Group!

Caregiver Support Groups

Monthly peer support group, led by a facilitator. Groups include topics of interest to the caregivers, discussion and resources.
