CAREGIVER SUPPORT SERVICES
Caregiver Support is a personalized service that equips family caregivers with the knowledge, skills and tools needed to develop themselves and enrich their role as caregivers.
The goal of the Caregiver Support Program is to cultivate a stronger caregiver who can care for themselves AND for their loved one. Our Caregiver Support Navigator will collaborate with you (the caregiver) either in person, on the phone, via e-mail or by letters.
You will receive information regarding your loved one’s illness, resources in the community, tools to strengthen your caregiving skills and assistance with your own self-care.
