	Support Services | Caregivers Services With so many tough decisions to make, the caregiver’s role can be physically and emotionally challenging, even under the best of circumstances. When demands become overwhelming, our Caregivers Service can help. The Caregivers Service is a free program through HealthOutreach that provides help and support for individuals and families involved in the care of anyone 60 or older. Coordinated by a certified social worker, this service is designed to help caregivers identify and cope with the many complex issues confronting them. Through the safety of support groups and individualized counseling, caregivers have the opportunity to talk and be listened to, express a broad range of feelings without censure or judgment, and consider all the options to improve the quality of life for their loved ones and themselves. In addition, the Caregivers Service offers a wealth of information and resources including: • Needs assessments and recommendations/referrals • Assistance in evaluating care options such as home care, retirement community, skilled nursing facility and assisted living • Strategies for stress reduction and self care • Monthly lectures on relevant topics • Crisis intervention • Physician and community service referral • Information about healthcare proxies, living wills, powers of attorney, and other legal matters For more information, simply complete our Caregivers enrollment form on this site.
