What is Caregiver Coaching?

You wanted to ensure that the person you love gets the care and attention they deserve. You knew it wasn’t going to be easy but you stepped up anyway. You may not have expected that…

  • talking to your mom about her future health feels like walking on eggshells.
  • installing grab bars in the bathroom would be a point of contenton.
  • rushing to the ED in the middle of the night because your father has another bad pneumonia has become the norm.
You’re tapped out. You’ve been so worried, you’ve barely slept. Part of you wonders if this will be the last trip to the hospital. Maybe you even feel relief, quickly followed by guilt. 
  
We get it! Caregiver Coaching recognizes that caring for YOU is as important as you caring for your loved one. We’ll help you talk to your loved ones about their future health, think through medical decisions, learn about resources to keep your loved ones safe, educate yourself on what to expect, and support you emotionally and spiritually. 
How does it work?

“Having talked to Caitlin before hand was hugely helpful in us being more prepared for our conversation with the medical team, as well as for my husband talking directly with his mom about what she wanted. We’re very grateful for the timing of her presence in pulling us back from the edge.”

“Before coaching, it was hard to talk to friends & family about the logistics of caregiving, and I lacked knowledge about Long Term Care and Hospice Care. With coaching, I’ve navigated the Indiana POST form, understood hospice, improved communication with our physician, prepared for emergencies, and can make decisions for my loved one through a structured process to meet our quality of life goals.  I now have more confidence in myself, my plans, and my care team.”

“It’s a discussion, albeit a difficult one, but it helps you identify priorities and plan accordingly. You are not told what to do, you explore what’s important to you.“

Still Not Sure?

“It’s hard to find people that can make space for our issues & challenges, take the time to process and understand, and then provide useful and productive feedback to bring about positive changes. I don’t think I would have had the capacity to accomplish as much as I did with EpioneMD if I were by myself. Don’t go it alone; hire a coach“
