Benefits for Our Families
Our families also tell us how grateful
and relieved they feel once their loved one has begun attending
Misler regularly. They tell us how much the tender and professional
care we provide means to them. Our families and caregivers benefit
from:
-
Peace of
mind – Families are assured
by our years of experience and our consistency in daily health
monitoring of loved ones. They are assured, too, by the high
regard that families, physicians, geriatric care managers, social
workers and other professionals have for what we do.
-
Respite from caregiving – Whether for
work, rest or just getting things done, a respite is essential to
any caregiver’s well being.
-
Caregivers’ support group – Led by our
licensed social workers, the support group allows caregivers the
opportunity to meet with others who are experiencing similar
challenges, and to share ways to manage and cope.
-
Eldercare referral and information –
Our social workers and nurses can provide information about a
variety of resources designed to help you meet the needs of your
loved one, from books and articles, to referrals to other
professionals and services. They can also draw upon the resources
of the JCA Senior HelpLine (301-255-4200), the most comprehensive
database of eldercare resources in the Greater Washington, D.C.
region.
