Many people are taking care of an ill or elderly loved one at home with little or no help. In this section are resources to help you help your loved one.

Free Caregiver Workshops!

"The Caregiver Journey" is a series of workshops to better prepare you for the caregiving journey.

With a variety of experts and a wealth of information, these workshops will provide many of the answers you need to bravely face the road ahead.

Taking care of a sick loved one can be a challenging road to travel. There is no road map that tells you exactly how to get where you want to go, nor street signs along the way.

Whether your loved one is a hospice patient, or may be years away from that step, you are welcome to participate in our caregiver workshops.

Topics Covered in the Workshops include:

Taking Care of A Bed Bound Person
Nutrition at the End of Life
Important End of Life Conversations
Communicating with Doctors
End of Life Legal Affairs
Finding the Information & Resources You Need
Taking Care of You So You Can Take Care of Others
What to Expect at the Time of Death

A time for individual questions and socialization will be held after each session. We hope that sharing conversations with other caregivers will give you hope and let you know that you are not alone.
