Where Next?: A Path for Caregivers
Description:
By 2026, over 2.4 million Canadians age 65+ will require family caregiving support —up 71% from 2011. Today we are likely to live our last 10 years with progressing medical issues. Our declining health will become a burden for us as well our families, friends and community. How can we as caregivers and future care receivers take action to reduce the burden and improve the quality of care?
Presenter:
Wendy Sutton,
She is the creator of Where Next? A Path for Caregivers, a program that supports caregivers with information and access to local resources. For 9 years she was the primary caregiver for her mother who had dementia.
