Are you a caregiver? Many of us are caring for aging parents as well as partners, siblings, children and chosen family members. The Family Care Office can provide you with information and referrals to organizations that can support you in your caregiving, including how to navigate the complex care systems. We can also provide referrals to supports for you and your own wellbeing.
Employee and Family Assistance Program
Caregiving & elder care supports from EFAP:
- Receive an immediate needs assessment and customized family resource packages.
- Their specialists can speak directly with the person for whom you are caring as part of your needs assessment and provide information on arranging an independent provider for an in-home assessment.
- Obtain resources pertaining to home care services, understanding long term care and other housing options, dementia care, end-of-life care, and legal referrals for Wills and Powers of Attorney.
You may also register and create an online account to access the TELUS Health website. Find your TELUS Health invitation code in your email or request a code. This will give you access to additional eldercare resources.
