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” is a workshop where family caregivers have an opportunity to connect with professionals and caregiving resources that will support them in their caregiving journey, network with fellow caregivers and listen to professional speakers who will discuss a variety of caregiving topics, including:
- Proper Body Mechanics When Caring for Your Loved One
- Technology and the Caregiver
- Fall Prevention
- What is End of Life Care?
- Challenging Behaviors of the Alzheimer’s Patient
- Caring for the Caregiver
Attendees will enjoy a complimentary breakfast and lunch and have a chance to win door prizes. Registration is free. To register, call 904.407.6790 by Friday, January 24. To request complimentary respite care for your loved one, call Jennifer Arnold at 904.807.1318.
