Family Caregiver Training

I was browsing through the July/August 2011 issue of The Advisory: a publication of the Washington County Disability, Aging & Veteran Services Division and found that a training session for family members and other unpaid caregivers providing care in the home will be offered on Wednesdays, October 5, 12, 19, 26 & November 2 from 1:00 - 4:00 p. m. at No Worries Training Center, Parkside Business Center, 8285 SW Nimbus Ave., Suite 150 (at the corner of Nimbus & Hall in Beaverton.) The sessions include: basic personal care techniques and assistive equipment, medication administration, dealing with challenging behaviors, elder law considerations, end-of-life planning and self-care and community resources. The training is sponsored by No Worries In-Home Care and WCDAVS Family Caregiver Support Program. Call to register: 503-846-3089.
