For Caregivers
Caregiver Support helps family and loved ones in their role as caregivers for a loved one with a serious, progressive illness
Common Caregiver Issues Include:
- Mental aspects and anguish of being a caregiver
- The responsibility of doing everything “just right”
- Household chores and tasks seem overwhelming
- Often neglect their own needs and well-being
- Managing family dynamics
- Time management - how will everything get done?
These issues can result in worry and stress that lead to caregiver fatigue. Caregiver Support can help manage these issues and improve the overall caregiving experience.
Caregiver Support is often for people who:
Are caring for a loved one with a serious, progressive illness
Have been told by a doctor that their loved one has a serious illness
Wish to have their loved one remain home and avoid hospital/emergency room visits
Have experienced any of the above common caregiver issues
Could benefit from an added layer of support
Caregiver Support includes:
Initial consult to review and assess any and all related issues
Discover your desired results and goals
An individualized plan of care specific to your caregiver issues and goals of care
Ongoing communication with you regarding the issues and the plan of care
Additional support for other family members and loved ones
