Greetings!
If you're caring for an aging parent or facing the challenges of assisting a loved one or friend who is chronically ill, disabled or elderly you are not alone. You are one of the 22 million Americans who care for an older adult. Caregivers provide 80 percent of in-home care, but unlike nurses and home health aids, they are unpaid for their labor of love.
"Caregiving is a difficult job that can take a toll on relationships, jobs and emotional well-being," says Dr. Elizabeth Clark, executive director of the National Association of Social Workers. "Those who care for others need to be sure to take care of themselves, as well."

 Partners in Senior Care is dedicated to assisting seniors and
their families. Sometimes the difference between successful aging and
problematic aging is knowledge. For this reason we have developed the Care Connection monthly series. The Care Connection will provide information that is seasonally appropriate for seniors.
Need a speaker or presentation? We have speakers available to present on any of our Care Connection topics. Just call Angie at 847-548-1330 Visit our website for a downloadable factsheet on Care for the Caregiver |
