The Hidden Cost of Caregiving The Caregiver Resource Center Services
|
Elder caregiving can be a challenging and stressful experience, that can be compounded even more, when the elder lives in a different community or even a different state. In addition, you may be trying to juggle the responsibilities of caregiving, raising children, and holding down a job.
A 2010 study by MetLife, reported that the average elder caregiver, experiences lost revenue of more than $659,000 over the course of their lifetime:

We provide support and guidance, to assist you and your loved ones, through the stressful and often confusing process of elder caregiving. All services are individually designed to meet your unique needs, and are on a fee for services basis. Our services may be covered under the medical benefits plan provided by your insurance company, however it is your responsibility to determine whether services are covered under your plan. Caregiver Support One on one support services offer you an opportunity to take care of yourself. Through this process you can express your feelings, and develop positive coping techniques, to deal with the stresses and emotions that are part of caregiving. Facilitation of Open Discussions We are available to meet with a few select people or an entire family, in order to help facilitate a discussion with the elder about their perceived needs and desires. Needs Assessment Before you can begin to develop an appropriate care plan for the elder, it is first necessary to determine the elder\'s ability to remain safely independent, along with their strengths, weaknesses, and areas of concern. We will work with you and area professionals to obtain an assessment of the elder\'s psychological, social and functional needs. Development of an Individualized Care Plan Following the determination of the elder\'s needs, wishes and desires, financial situation, and available resources, the next step is to develop an individualized care plan. We are available to work with the elder, family, and area professionals to develop a care plan that focuses on the elder\'s current needs, required treatment (e.g. medical, psychiatric, physical therapy), housing requirements, and optimal utilization of community resources Professional Referrals Once it is determined the services needed, we are available to help you research community resources, complete applications, arrange for on-site visits, and provide checklists of pertinent questions that you may want to ask prior to retaining any services. Information & Education Tracking down current and accurate information can be a very time consuming project. We are available to do the research for you, and provide you with websites, the title of books and their authors, upcoming seminars, or printed literature on desired topics of interest such as Alzheimer\'s, Parkinson\'s, substance abuse, or depression. Monitoring & Advocacy On occasion, an elder\'s family is unable to provide the oversight and monitoring of eldercare, due to living a distance away, work commitments, or other family obligations. We are available to act as a liaison to families, ensuring that the elder is doing well, alerting families to areas of concern, and providing advocacy to ensure that the elder is receiving the services that they need and for which they are paying. Consultation Services We often receive calls from frustrated loved ones, who share that they are dealing with situations, for which they don\'t see any solutions. Our philosophy is that there is always at least one solution to every problem. Together we brainstorm the situation until we come up with that solution. A few examples of what we mean:
