BUCHANAN – Being a caregiver can be both rewarding and stressful.

Hospice at Home, in partnership with and funded by Area Agency on Aging, provides a program to give you the tools to make caregiving more meaningful and efficient, and give you ways to take care of yourself as well.

Caregivers can learn how to obtain needed community resources, manage caregiver stress, organize important documents, monitor safety and risk, develop an increased sense of personal effectiveness as a caregiver, and decrease the sense of caregiver burden.

Classes consist of three 2-hour sessions held once a week. There is no charge to attend.
Classes will be held at the Buchanan Meadows Assisted Living, 809 Canal St., Buchanan, from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays for three weeks beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 6.

Respite care and transportation are available if necessary. To register, call 1-800-717-3811. Class size is limited and pre-registration is required. Contact Hospice at Home at 269-429-7100 or go to www.hospiceathomecares.org.
