Overview
For family caregivers, a loved one’s move to a care facility represents a significant shift in their role and responsibilities. Studies have shown that transitions in caregiving—particularly, and paradoxically, reductions in caregiving duties—can trigger guilt, anxiety, and even depression. This session will help staff members understand the profound stressors that affect family caregivers, gain insight into easing care transitions, and provide wraparound support to residents’ caregivers and the entire family system, helping family caregivers and residents alike thrive.
By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:
- Define the five key factors that create stress for family caregivers and explain their impact on social, emotional, and physical wellbeing
- Identify three signs that a family caregiver is struggling and would benefit from professional intervention or support during a care transition
- Name three to five resources family caregivers can access for additional support during care transitions or in future
