Whether
you are an adult child caring for an aging parent, a spouse or sibling
providing care to a relative, or a senior caring for yourself, the
information and products available via the www.SeniorConnection.us
website are designed to improve your quality of life.
THE
SENIORCONNECTION.US WEBSITE
As caregivers, it’s easy to feel
overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks that need to be accomplished
for your loved ones each day.
Although hundreds of resources exist to help you, the
hardest part can be finding what’s available.
Therefore, in addition to the Caregiver Connection
newsletter, I am also pleased to make available to you several valuable
resources via the “Senior
Connection website.” This web-based one-stop Educational and
Information center for Caregivers and Seniors is designed to save you
time and money, as well as your sanity.
The SeniorConnection.us
website consists of a comprehensive Resource Directory, Articles on
topics of relevance to caregivers and seniors, and informational Videos
and Slideshows about agencies that offer help throughout Yavapai County.
SENIOR RESOURCES DIRECTORY
The Resources Directory contains contact
information for hundreds of local nonprofit, government and commercial
agencies that provide helpful products and services to ease the life of
caregivers.
Updated weekly, this searchable database will save you
literally hundreds of research hours and connect you with nonprofit,
government and commercial agencies that can help with every aspect of
being a caregiver.
Categories include areas such as assisted living and
skilled nursing facilities, in-home care providers, transportation, meal
preparation and delivery, and financial assistance.
A search on one or more keywords results in all of the
companies that provide a particular product or service. You can then
print out the Profile of each agency that is of interest to you.
All on the website at:
Senior Connection.us
INFORMATIONAL ARTICLES
The Informational Articles section contains articles
on a wide variety of topics relating to aging. The articles are short
and sweet, yet go directly to the heart of the matter of some of the
most sensitive issues surrounding our fears and frustrations as
caregivers. No topic is off-limits and new articles are constantly being
added to the website at: SeniorConnection.us
EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS
Educational Videos and Slideshows, narrated by
recognized experts in the community, are posted on the website.
Additionally, videos and slideshows featuring nonprofit and for-profit
agencies that provide products or services to caregivers and seniors
will be available at the website:
