C.A.R.E. PARTNER CONNECTIONS (CPC)
It is the commitment of GOOD NEWS CONSULTING to provide programs that facilitate high standards of excellence
to meet the challenges associated with the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the aged. GOOD NEWS CONSULTING
feel that the familiy caregivers are often those challenged the most as they provide care for their loved one with dementia.
It is for that reason the CPC was developed in 2009.
Keeping loved ones at home for as long as possible is the goal of the CPC. By equipping
family caregivers with dementia care techniques usually taught only to professional caregivers, it is
felt by GOOD NEWS CONSULTING that it will facilitate less stress, frustration and anxiety
often seen in family caregivers of those with dementia. Through competency training sessions, the CPC provides family caregivers with techniques
that can be used at home with their loved one. Each session is presented in PowerPoint format with handouts, demonstrations
and technique practice. Sharing successes and the discussion of solutions to challenges
experienced by the participants as they practiced the techniques at home help the family
caregivers become competent in the techniques. In 2010, GOOD NEWS CONSULTING was awarded a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Aging (PDA)
to pilot the CPC in York County, PA.Session Contents:
