Aging Ahead has a long history of supporting family caregivers, and we know caring for a loved one can be one of the hardest roles out there. Through our Family Caregiver Support Program we are able to provide a variety of options to help ensure both the caregiver AND the care-receiver stay safe and healthy. We are excited to share another way we are supporting caregivers through a partnership with Adaptive Equipment and Caregiving Corner (AEC).
The team at AEC, which includes a physical therapist, speech therapist, and occupational therapist, has created a library with over 250 instructional videos to help improve safety and function of the adaptive equipment used to enhance the ability of an individual to age-in-place. The complete video library is now available FREE for all to access through our website. Visit www.agingahead.org/ae-corner to get started.
There are a couple of options to move about the library:
1) Click “Series” to see a listing of video themes or
2) Enter a topic (such as hip, shower, transfer, etc) in the search bar as shown below to see a list of videos available.
We hope you find the video library helpful as you learn the best tools and strategies to care for your loved one. If you would like more information about the video library or our Family Caregiver Support Program, please reach out to our Community Options and Services Dept at 636-207-0847.
