Communications Manager
As I meet with people that receive long-term care services
and supports, I am shocked to hear the number of people that say they do not
get along with their caregiver.
Sometimes it is a family member or a friend. Other times it is somebody they hired from an
agency or found in their community.
Part of what we do at iLIFE is educating people about what
they should expect from their caregivers.
Employer authority is an emerging topic and an important skill for people
who want to self-direct their care. Making expectations clear to caregivers
from the start creates a solid foundation for a good working relationship.
In partnership with the Wisconsin Long Term Care Workforce
Alliance, we met with two caregivers and their employer to learn more about
creating positive relationships.
Our entire three-part film series on caregiver best
practices is on the iLIFE YouTube channel.
