Age Safe America, LLC is pleased to offer the Family Caregiver ESSENTIALS™ online program to empower and support this invisible army. Being a Caregiver doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and most family caregivers feel overwhelmed and under trained. This online video course offers real world advice for caregiving for aging parents or loved ones with short or long-term chronic illness. The information is presented by two professionals with personal experience and perspective on important topics that are essential tools in caregiving.
The free online program provides individuals with actionable ways to fulfill their role more effectively. Caregiving can happen suddenly or evolve over time and this program has topics along the entire spectrum of the caregiving experience. Individual modules address important topics such as care advocacy, creating care teams, self-care, impacts on home and career life, as well as planning for the legal and financial implications of caregiving.
This is not an academic course; this is the manual everyone can use when suddenly… you’re a caregiver. Each participant can choose to view all the modules or pick the most relevant topics to start. The comprehensive program also includes a downloadable study guide and extensive references and resources. In addition, businesses, organizations and municipalities can contact Age Safe America to obtain a distribution license to offer the course to their clients or members.
