Are you a Caregiver?
Caring for a loved one can be a unique and rewarding experience. It can also be a difficult one - emotionally, physically and financially.
Vistalynk Solutions has developed the following programs to help you in your role as caregiver.
Vista Coaching Consultation
This program was developed to assist caregivers in making decisions about their loved one's care. We will meet with you to answer
questions you may have regarding the care of a loved one in an initial consultation. We also provide a workbook that will enable
you to develop a plan of care.
The Vista Coaching Consultation includes:
Meetings with caregiver and family member(s) to:
- Understand your specific care situation
- Determine emotional, physical and financial needs of both, caregiver and care recipient
- Clarify the objectives of the family and help develop a mission statement
- Develop a team of resources
*This meeting will facilitate the path you take in caring for your loved one.
Workbook Review:
Our workbook was developed employing a one-on-one method that very effectively walks the caregiver
through the process of building a plan for the loved one while understanding his or her own individual needs.
