Video: Family caregivers' perspectives on home care support services

Capturing the perspectives of the families and support workers of people with dementia, the Home Support project is a valuable tool to assist in care. This video, titled Family, shows the importance of caregiver support and preventing burnout. The video helps support novice caregivers, as well as reinforce good practices among health care professionals.

This video was produced as part of a recent collaborative effort by the Canadian Red Cross Atlantic Zone and Canadian Dementia Knowledge Translation Network (CDKTN) followed Continuing Care Assistants (CCA) and Home Support Workers (HSW) in their care of people with dementia. Partnering together with the assistance of a CIHR grant awarded to the CRC, two videos were produced to educate practitioners and caregivers.

The video highlight several useful themes involved with home care: how to keep aging patients active, maintaining their independence, and encouraging mental activity.
