WeCare…Because You Do, the scientifically-proven family caregiver support program of Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging, is rooted in a commitment to place the caregiver front and center. Delivered virtually, WeCare believes caregivers shouldn’t feel alone in managing the needs of aging loved ones. WeCare aspires to empower them and ease their stress by:
- Helping families get consolidated, curated information to make care-related decisions
- Enabling them to access and navigate community resources
- Finding ways to engage their support network
- Providing emotional support to sustain them so that loved ones may remain in the community for as long as possible
WeCare Care Consultants serve as personal coaches to address immediate unmet needs and help plan for the future, walking side-by-side with families through the challenges of caregiving. By helping caregivers take care of themselves and those who need them most, WeCare has been proven to:
- Decrease depression, relationship/emotional strain, and isolation for both caregivers and loved ones
- Enhance capacity to manage/provide care
- Address unmet needs for both care partners
- Minimize hospital admissions/re-admissions and emergency room visits for older loved one
We believe the aging process is worth cherishing and upholding; WeCare provides this hope and inspiration for families.
