Where to Begin, An Introductory Planning Guide for Family Caregivers
Caregivers Nova Scotia, the Alzheimer Society, and the Nova Scotia Centre on Aging, (Mount Saint Vincent University) have produced a planning and resource guide that provides new caregivers with a checklist of financial, health, safety, legal and other important issues to be considered when preparing a care plan for an older friend or family member. The guide also includes a valuable resource listing of health organizations, supports and services available to caregivers. For a free copy of the planning guide, please call Caregivers Nova Scotia at 421-7390 (metro) or 1-877-488-7390 (toll-free). Click here to view the guide in PDF format .
In addition to the Introductory Planning Guide, we can provide you with a guide to caregiving. This contains the basic but essential information needed by care givers and care receivers. Simply select the choice labeled "Create Your Care Guide" from the menu to the right.
