Caregiver Connection
Caregiver Connection provides guidance to identify strategies, options, & resources for the care of your loved one.
Consultation:
Consultations with an Elder Care Counselor take place by phone, e-mail, or in-person. Individualized information and follow-up support with a counselor is available as needed.
Instead of spending hours piecing together information on the tangled web of services available, let us streamline your search and offer a comprehensive, accurate, and detailed look at all options available. Information may include housing options, home care, adult day programs, caregiver support services, government programs, etc.
Seminars:
Learn about a variety of aging and eldercare topics by attending informational seminars held throughout the region in community locations and workplaces. Topics include: “Effective Communication”, “Managing the Stress of Caregiving”, “Elder Care Essentials”. Contact us for our current schedule or to arrange to host a seminar.
Telephone Seminars:
Learn conveniently from home. Listen to presentations by local experts on matters of interest to family caregivers, ask questions, and receive written handout materials. One-hour seminars are held periodically, often in the evening for convenience.
Past Telephone Seminars:
- Legal Tools for Caregivers
- Bringing Services into the Home
- Stress Reduction through Relaxation
- Caring for Our Veterans
- Validation, Fibbing & Humor: When Loved Ones Have Dementia
