Caregivers

CAREGIVERS' SUPPORT PROGRAM

The Caregiver Program is offered by the Vigi Dollard-des-Ormeaux Day Centre in collaboration with the CLSC de Pierrefonds.

You are taking care of a person with a loss of autonomy and sometimes feel:

  • Hopeless
  • Alone
  • Guilty
  • Overburdened

You would like to share your knowledge and experience with others.

A support program for caregivers is available to you where we'll explore the following topics:

  • Exhaustion signs and prevention
  • Legal aspects
  • Aging and cognitive deficits
  • Health care resources
  • Asserting myself
  • Residence / placement
  • Home safety
  • Communication
  • Sharing experiences

The Vigi Dollard-des-Ormeaux Day Centre and the CLSC de Pierrefonds offer a ten workshops support program free of charge.
