Aging and Caregiving Consultation Available
As families face aging issues within their family systems,
the stresses can be overwhelming. Many decisions have to be made,
often on short notice. In most families, there are differing opinions
about what is happening and what should be a next step in the
care giving. Many primary caregivers are burning the candle art
both ends and feeling the effects. There are several services
available to help address these issues.
- Consultation with family members to enhance planning of services,
identification of community and family resources, and addressing
the challenges presented within the family itself
- Consultations with the Senior who needs care and the family
members providing the care
- Consultation with long distance caregivers
- Consultation about approaching end-of-life conversations
and making necessary plans
- Community presentations to groups such as work place luncheons,
church groups, social organizations and support groups
