Caring Circle Café: Organizing Help at Home
Apr 20 @ 6:00 AM – 8:00 AM

Caring Circle Café:   Thursday, April 20, 2017

Topic: Organizing Help at Home

If you are caring for an elderly love one, you may feel overwhelmed at times. Help may be needed with transportation, shopping, house cleaning, laundry, meal planning, medication distribution, bill paying or keeping track of medical appointments. One person alone simply cannot stay on top of all these things.

We’re here to help you organize help at home. Social worker, Amie Deschamps will be present to explain what help is available and how to access it. Rebecca Gowen Bouchard, founder of Anglo Assistant will provide insight into using a private company to ease your caregiving load.

When & Where: This session begins at 10 AM in the community art room on the second floor of the Jeffery Hale Pavilion. Light refreshments will be served.

This activity is free and so is parking in the hospital parking lot. Participants are asked to call 418 684-5333, Ext 1539 to register. 

If you are reluctant to attend because you cannot leave your loved one alone, please call us so we can find a way to assist you.
