My Caregiver Compass™
A gateway to better health by offering real-time access to a wealth of caregiving resources.
Welcome to the My Caregiver Compass program, designed specifically to support caregivers, particularly those caring for loved ones with neurocognitive disorders. This program isn’t just a resource—it’s a gateway to better health by offering real-time access to a wealth of caregiving resources:
Caregivers need more than just support—they deserve comprehensive, personalized care solutions that lighten their load and empower them to successfully manage newfound responsibilities that add to their typical daily demands.
Caregiver Health and Wellness
For years, researchers have recognized the detrimental impact of caregiving on caregivers’ mental health. Recent studies further reveal that caregiving can significantly impact physical health as well. This is reinforced by the finding that 17 percent of caregivers report that their overall health has deteriorated due to their caregiving duties, according to the AARP Public Policy Institute.
Program Objective
The My Caregiver Compass program provides practical resources to caregivers to help them manage the unique responsibilities they face by providing comprehensive interactive support and training to not only enhance the well-being of their care recipients, but also their own. This program demonstrates a commitment to prioritizing caregivers’ own needs, including access to self-care practices and peer support to manage the emotional and physical impact of caregiving.
