The Art of Effective Caregiving - AARP

The Art of Effective Communication for Caregivers is part one of a three part series titled,  Powerful Tools for Effective Caregiving

The National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) reports the number of caregivers in the United States increased to 9.5 million from 2015 to 2020. Caregivers now encompass more than one in five Americans. It is critical that caregivers are equipped with the knowledge on how to assist their loved ones with daily living activities, schedule doctor appointments and create a healthy living enviroment.

This three part training provides caregivers with the tools necessary to provide compassionate, holistic and effective care. Caregivers will also learn the value of prioritizing their health.

The Art of Effective Caregiving 

One key skill is the ability to effectively communicate with your loved one. In this class, you’ll learn how exhibiting a calm demeanor can defuse difficult situations and how empathy and patience can strengthen the caregiving relationship. As a result, effective communication also helps caregivers manage their own mental and emotional well-being.
