One way to help caregivers in your circle of friends, family or employees is to give them the gift of learning. We have just launched a series of Caregiver Training courses designed specifically to give in-home, assisted living and family caregivers tools to continue to provide care, even with challenging care needs or behaviors. Gift cards are a perfect solution for holiday gift giving, too. You can find details about the caregiver courses, see sample courses and purchase gift cards at our website, www.CaringForMom.com - thanks for sharing important information about caregiving!
Thank you for sharing. If you want your loved one to remain in your home but need help during the day while you work or take care of other responsibilities, day care for Alzheimer’s patients is the perfect choice. Your loved one will benefit from socializing with others and participating in expressive therapy and recreational programs.
