Free Caregiver Burnout Seminar
WHAT: A FREE seminar to help those who are challenged with caring for loved ones
with Alzheimer's, dementia or other diseases requiring long-term care.
Our seminar is for family members who are caring for their elderly loved ones. Many
of these caregivers feel isolated and alone and do not know where to turn for help
with the day-to-day issues involved in caregiving. Our goal is to help family
caregivers recognize the signs of burnout and to be proactive in setting goals to
cope with it. With community resources, support groups, long-term care
alternatives, legal support and financial strategies, families can equip themselves
with the necessary tools to provide greater care for their loved ones.
Topics covered include:
• What is Caregiver Burnout?
• Avoiding Burnout
• Local resources for Caregivers
• Protecting the elderly from identity theft
• Power of attorneys, living wills, DNRs
• Avoiding the pitfalls of long term care insurance
WHY: Even though there are many community resources available to them, many families
fail to avail themselves of those resources for various reasons… caregiver guilt,
isolation, lack of financial resources, fear of letting go or fear of the unknown.
Caregivers who don’t get enough support often burnout and begin to encounter
emotional, mental, physical and personal problems.
WHO: Renee Reeves, a long term care consultant who has worked with Alzheimer's and
dementia patients for over 10 years, will be presenting ideas and strategies
intended to help caregivers deal with the stresses involved with caring for elderly
loved ones.
