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.
