Meeting Room B+C (75)

Learn ways to increase engagement and resources for caregiver support.

See other dates and locations for this program on our events calendar.

After rehabilitation and returning home families often struggle with ways to create a new “normal.” Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in old patterns that no longer work because of circumstances, level of functioning or the interests of the stroke patient have changed. Learn some ways to increase engagement and resources for caregiver support.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring – all of which have the potential to turn a situation around." - Leo Buscaglia

Presented by Kathy Kilpatrick, Geriatric Life Enhancement Consultant, Memory Fitness Specialist, Speech-Language Pathologist
