What Would A Caregiver Support Group Do For Me?

Did you know that more that one-third of the US population is providing cares for an aging loved one?  That number is expected to grow exponentially over the next few years due to the baby-boomer population.  If you have already found yourself in a caregiving position, chances are it's just around the corner.

Caregiving is a demanding, time-consuming, sometimes thankless job.  It is also a beautiful way of serving those we love. Being able to see the beauty in it is directly related to the support you have as well as the skills and tools that are available.  Support groups can offer skills, information, resources and tools as well as the knowledge of knowing you are not alone.

Having the opportunity to facilitate three CARE meetings in Utah Valley throughout each month helps me to understand the great need of sharing resources and information with caregivers. Having people come to the meetings is one of the greatest resources.  They are in the trenches of their caregiving experience and are able to share ideas, what worked, what didn't, and help others who may be having the same struggles.

Please come to one of our CARE meetings whether you are currently caregiving, have been a caregiver in the past or know that the time is coming for you with an aging loved one.

There is a CARE (Caregivers Allowed to Rejuvenate and Energize) Meeting tonight at Bel Aire Senior Living, 1088 East 390 South in American Fork tonight at 6 PM.  Feel free to call me @ 801-623-9595 with any questions.  Hope to see you there!
