As we go grow into adulthood it may occur to us that at some point in time we may be faced with assisting an aging parent or relative. Then one day by either choice or default we find that we have become a “Caregiver”. There is nothing in life that really prepares us for this role and it can be a “sink or swim” proposition. Those who are good swimmers and who are able to navigate the currents are people who over time have developed good coping strategies – part of which is educating one self to what type of services exist in the community.

It is impossible to count the innumerable times over the last 20 years people have remarked “I wish I knew about your program when I was caring for my mother”. I’d like to take this chance to introduce you to a program considered to be a “life preserver” by both families and professionals.
