The Caregiver's Training Program

The Caregiver's Training Program
The Caregiver's Training Program gives practical, immediately useful knowledge about the techniques and resources available to make the last years of life for your parent as comfortable and dignified as possible.

The fastest growing segment of the U.S. workforce will be retirement age by the year 2014. Seventy-eight million baby boomers, starting from the year 2006, will begin turning 60 years old, at the rate of almost 8,000 per day. The Boomers represent 37% of the nation's population over the age of 16.

An AARP study found that 33 million Americans will take on the responsibility of caring for their aging relatives themselves, as unpaid caregivers. For many Americans, life at 40, 50 or even 60 years old will include care for an aging parent or relative. What training will you have? In most cases, none! Only 15% of skilled nursing care is performed in a nursing home. The Caregiver's Training Program is a needed guide for individuals who have no prior experience in managing the care and well being of their loved ones in such a detailed, hands-on way.
