Caregivers

As our loved ones get older, many find themselves assisting them with essential daily tasks while juggling a job or other responsibilities. Whether we realize it or not, that’s a caregiver and keeping everything together can take its toll. Caregivers need to know that their efforts are appreciated and may need a place to talk openly or receive guidance and support about what to do next. Let us help.

GUIDE Model

Senior Resources is providing the Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model to enhance quality of life for individuals with dementia and lessen the strain of their caregivers by coordinating proper care and resources. The GUIDE Model can help people with dementia stay in their homes longer by delaying or avoiding the need for nursing home care and improving quality of life for their and their unpaid caregivers. It can provide access up to $2,500 in respite care services each year, dementia management training for caregivers, and support groups and counseling for caregivers and patients.
