This November we celebrate family caregivers in Oklahoma City, OK. Caregivers are selfless people who devote themselves to the well-being of others. They may be family members or professionals. Too often caregivers sacrifice their own needs to ensure their family members have the best care. Professional family caregivers provide a compassionate service for both the family members and the family caregiver. They work long hours to ensure their clients, whether young or old, receive the most professional care and loving compassion.
Getting qualified personal care for loved ones can be difficult to find or costly for the average family, even though the pay for care workers is modest. National Family Caregivers Month brings light to that problem, backing that concern with funds for support programs through the American Rescue Plan, improved Medicaid home care programs, and increased block grants.
Not all families can afford around-the-clock services, nor are they always necessary. Program versatility is vital for family caregivers. Whether the caregiver’s primary job is working outside the home or being the sole caregiver for a family member, having access to professional help is necessary. A program that allows the family caregiver to select the type of care that benefits their family situation, whether it’s respite care, household care, or daycare, the choice should be individualized.
Caregiver’s Connect focuses on learning about resources and services you might not realize exist. It’s about getting the services you need and not paying for those you don’t require. The type of care for a parent might only require a virtual check-in or medication reminder. Creating a customized Care Plan specifically designed for you and your family’s needs can provide the professional services the family needs without those they don’t require, saving money.
