Let's face it: You have a tough job. As a health care professional, you're often trying to help two people, older adults with chronic illnesses or diseases and their family caregivers. And, these two people have very different and very complex needs. How do you help both? Or, as a human resource professional, you're trying to assist an employee, who happens to be a family caregiver. Unfortunately, in all your training, you've yet to cover this aspect of your job. You want to help, but how? In this section of our web site, we provide some tips and ideas on how to work effectively with family caregivers.
You've just added new programs and services to help the family caregivers in your community. But, that's only the beginning. Now, you have to train your staff. Market the services. Set up an intake system. Assess the effectiveness of the new program. Organize a plan of care. Sponsor an annual caregiver conference. Add new support groups. And... it's only Monday!
