Next Thursday, we host the 294th in-person or Virtual Fearless Caregiver Conferences held in over 26 years. In our expert panels at the upcoming event will be a doctor, elder care attorney, veterans administration caregiver coordinator, financial expert and even the Florida Secretary of the Department on Aging. Along with the wisdom imparted by all of these amazing experts, I will venture to say that some of the wisest answers to caregivers questions will come from another source.
You see, Although I am extremely proud of the lessons and support our speakers and experts have imparted at the events, I can honestly say we are all always most impressed by the lessons that the family caregivers share with each other.
No matter if it was the caregiver who shared how she got her formerly stubborn mother to accept homecare to the caregiver at a Philadelphia event who stood up upon hearing another attendee’s story of caring for a group of seniors in her neighborhood and exclaimed, “I live in that neighborhood and from now on you have help”. Or the myriad of other examples of caregivers learning from the best caregiving experts -their fellow caregivers.
