How to Create a Plan of Care
—Courses and Pricing
Welcome to our Plan of Care courses on caregiver burnout! Caregiving is a noble and compassionate role, but it can also be emotionally and physically draining. As dedicated as you may be to supporting a loved one or patient, it’s essential to recognize and address your own well-being too.
Our Plan of Care courses are specifically designed to provide you with the tools, knowledge, and strategies to understand, prevent, and cope with caregiver burnout. Dive deep into understanding the signs, the underlying causes, and effective interventions to ensure that while you care for others, you don’t neglect yourself. Join us on this enlightening journey and empower yourself to provide care sustainably and with renewed energy.
Pricing of Our Plan of Care Courses
The pricing for our Plan of Care Courses was created with you in mind! That is because many caregivers suffering from burnout cannot afford to hire a professional caregiver or DSP a few days a week on a regular basis to give them a break. Why not? What is the cost of caregiving through professional caregiving agencies if you don’t have insurance?
According to statistics the median hourly rate of caregiving in the United States is about $31 to $35. Please click on the link to find out the cost in your state!
Taking these factors into consideration, I wanted to design a Plan of Care Course for my fellow caregivers that was cost effective and that could be completed in a relatively short period of time because time is something these caregivers do not have as they struggle with day to day caregiving needs.
We provide a 3 Part Caregiving Support System for Caregivers suffering from burnout:
Part 1: Our E-book
To begin, our Ebook is our introductory to explain, the cause of caregiver burnout, who we are, what we do and the solution. We help caregivers see it is imperative that every caregiver have a Plan of Care in place before starting Caregiving, otherwise there can be disastrous consequences. It also explains what a plan of care is and directs you to our next step—how we can help you design your own.
Part 2: Our Online Training Courses
Here we help caregivers and families create a Personalized Plan of Care designed to meet the care needs of the care recipient and the caregiver!
