Trellis Caregiver Confidence Part 2 – Skills and Drills

We understand that caring for a loved one can be overwhelming, so we’ve developed Caregiver Confidence workshops to provide helpful tips and techniques. Our Caregiver Confidence program was designed specifically to help support family caregivers with the tools, resources, and training to be more confident as a new caregiver.

The Caregiver Confidence program will help caregivers on many levels. Caregivers will receive customized training to care for their loved ones. Examples of topics include organizing medical information, home safety, fall prevention, caring for yourself, safe transfers in and out of bed/chair, preventing bed sores, managing incontinence, and much more. The workshops are offered in two parts, free of charge. Part 1 will be offered on Tuesday, April 2nd at 10:00 AM at the Generations Center in classroom 209.  Part 1 will be offered again on Thursday, May 30th at 1:00 PM at the Generations Center in classroom 209.  Part 2 will be offered Tuesday, April 30th at 10:00 AM at the Generations Center in classroom 209.  Lunch or snacks will be provided and both classes are free to the public.  To register, send an email to caregiverconfidence@trellissupport.org or call LaPorche Quick at 336-408-9217.
