A Tailored Approach
Caregiver burnout is real. When you struggle, it’s not only extremely hard on you, but it’s also difficult for the person you’re helping. Fortunately, ElderSource has a program designed to prevent caregiver burnout.
​
The Tailored Caregiver Assessment & Referral Program (TCARE) is designed to support family members at risk for burnout. Caregivers are interviewed to identify stressors and then a care plan is created to help them address the root causes of burnout.
​
You are eligible for this free program if you are a caregiver supporting a loved one who is age 60 or older and resides in Baker, Clay, Duval, Flagler, St. Johns, Nassau or Volusia County.
​
What TCARE Does:
-
Reduces your stress and provides strategies for reducing root causes of caregiver burnout
-
Creates a care plan just for you that offers support and improves your effectiveness as a caregiver
-
Connects you with resources that best meets your needs.
-
Promotes aging in place and may delay nursing home placement for your loved one
​
How TCARE Works:
ElderSource’s TCARE specialist meets with you twice over the phone. In the first meeting, the specialist learns your sources of stress and individual strengths. Then a care plan is created for you and discussed in the second meeting. The specialist reaches out every three months to check on you.
* All meetings are and scheduled Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
