Recap: Solutions for Family Caregiver Expo

Solutions for Family Caregiver Expo - Recap

Went to the Family Caregiver Expo in Novi Michigan.Will and I were there on Saturday. On the whole it was a good venue to gather information and ideas on how to be a Good PAL.
Our Caregiving is improved when we always look for ways to increase our Knowledge and Expertise.
While There...
We saw lots of vendors offering all kinds of services; Of course we were interested in those that would add to our abilities to provide the best of care to our clients as Professional Independent Caregivers.
And we attended one of the seminars - One on Elder Law. This was primarily addressed to the family looking to hire a caregiver, mostly through an agency. Also how to address certain issues concerning the individual seeking a caregiver or Personal Assistant.
Mostly the whole event centered on Agencies wanting to provide a family or individual with advice on hiring a caregiver.

What we came away with:

1. The Caregiver agency industry is HUGE.
2. Families have many questions about caregiving for their loved one (seniors).
3. There are HUGE opportunities for Professional Independent Caregivers and PALs.

I think the path to becoming the best qualified and thus the best appreciated PAL is to be educated. I hope to help by continuing to give you the best of what I Have Learned on these pages! I will tell you about the booths I was most interested in at the Expo next.

Thanks Again
