“Caring for the Caregiver” Workshop
Date/Time: 06/07/2014, 8:30 am - 3:00 pm
Provider: Community Hospice of NE Florida
As more Northeast Florida seniors need full-time care, family caregivers need to understand their special needs, and how, when and where they can find help—for themselves and their loved ones.
“Caring for the Caregiver” (download event flier from CommunityHospice.com) is a free workshop where family caregivers have an opportunity to connect with professionals and resources that will support them in their caregiving journey, network with fellow caregivers and listen to professional speakers who will discuss a variety of relevant topics, including:
· Technology and the Caregiver
· Challenging Behaviors of the Alzheimer’s Patient
· Caring for the Caregiver
· When Do You Need a Geriatrician?
· Preservation of Assets
· My List for Life
Attendees will enjoy a complimentary light breakfast and lunch and have a chance to win door prizes. Registration is free. To register, call 904.407.6790 by Friday, May 30. To request complimentary respite care for a loved one, call Jennifer Arnold at 904.807.1318 by Friday, May 23.
