Consultation:
Personal guidance identifying strategies, options, and resources for the care of your loved one. Consultations with an Elder Care Counselor take place by phone, e-mail, or in-person. Receive targeted written information and have follow-up contact with the counselor 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.
