EducationA source of education materials is very helpful for the caregiver and essential for the community We have a library of books and videos for caregivers and professionals to use. Our Education Consultant speaks to caregivers about what they would like to know more about or what they would like the community to better understand and arranges opportunities for learning. Most recently this has led to the development of our "Friendship: a Gift of Community" project.
The coordinator also chairs the community's Education for Eldercare Committee which has hosted events that provided general information about financial and legal issues (resources for aid, power of attorney, representation agreements trusteeship, wills) and nutrition. The Committee also furthered the understanding of dementias and how to help people suffering from them.
