HCAF: HCAF's First Friday Private Duty Lunch Chat: November - Creating Holiday Meal Memories for Happier & Healthier Clients

Join HCAF’s Private Duty Director, Kristen Wheeler on the first Friday of each month for an informal and informative chat covering hot topics affecting the private duty industry.  This month's topic: Creating Holiday Meal Memories for Happier and Healthier Clients

Do you often hear complaints about your caregivers’ cooking skills?

This webinar will focus on turning those complaints into opportunities to strengthen the bond between the client and caregiver.  As we head into the holiday season, it can be a time of joy and great memories.  For many of our clients, the holidays are a time of loneliness and even depression. Meals are a wonderful opportunity to create meaningful experiences and help elders get nutrition that vital for their health and well-being.  Learn some simple strategies for honoring an elder’s food culture and traditions, using favorite meals to prompt pleasant memories from years past and allowing elders to enjoy favorites even in the case of chronic conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
