Are you an unpaid caregiver? This FREE Course is specially designed for you!
Practical Caregiver Training weekend sessions April 6 and 20, 2024
Caregiving roles range from provision of assistance for personal care, access to meals and food, transportation to appointments, shopping, and social events, financial management and support, medical care, and many other home maintenance and activities of daily living.
Home Hospice North Lanark (HHNL) knows how hard it can be, and that caregiver burnout is a very real thing.
