Caregiver Wellness & Supportive Seminars
Why we offer this service is that statistics and our experience has shown that families, spouses, and paid caregivers for a chronic and progressively ill person become ill more often, sometimes even pass away before the patient does due to the physical and emotional demands of caring for a chronically ill and self-care dependant loved-one. There is also a high risk for abuse.
This Service is provided to small groups: child and adult group home caregivers, caregiving families, nursing departments, medical service providers, and paid community home healthcare providers.
Seminars are customized based on group needs and fees are based on number of modules selected. This service is invaluable for retention of staff and prevention of injuries and caregiver illness.
