Sam’s Caregiver Alliance Group will create a safe environment for Caregivers and the community to share their thoughts, experiences and expressions, assimilate knowledge about various resources and bring forth Mental Health professionals and area non-profit organizations to discuss the importance of quality of life for the Caregiver and their loved one. We will provide Caregivers, future Caregivers and advocates with the support they need to nurture their capabilities, creativity and backgrounds while stimulating their desires to being a productive, loving, caring Caregiver and Advocate. The Caregivers will be able to network with others that share in this journey and find a sense of peace and serenity during this difficult transition of life. The meetings will be held on the 4th Sunday of January, May and August.
Sam’s Caregiver Alliance Group’s Community Outreach program will partner with Community-based/Non-profit organizations, faith- based organizations and Nursing/Assisted living facilities to reach a following of caregivers that are currently experiencing the anxieties and financial responsibilities of being a caregiver. We will do in-person meetings and seminars by going to the local businesses and distribute and give information about the organization and the resources offered to caregivers. Providing information about the services, resources, grants and respite reimbursement programs offered to caregivers is why this organization was created by our founder. Caregivers are often forced to take on this role without warning which makes our organization an added advantage because we provide the security of them knowing they are not on this journey alone. We will also have a special day called Caregiver’s Day. There will be a booth set up with informational material at local events and organizations to help inspire Caregivers and promote community engagement. This gives the people in the community a chance to acquire information about programs without attending the meetings/seminars.
Caregivers are not always able to leave their loved ones to attend in-person Caregiver Support Group meetings due to a lack of respite. With our Home to Home Initiative, Sam’s Caregiver Alliance Group will bring volunteers to the Caregiver’s home to consult with them about resources and help guide them through the next steps of their journey. Volunteers will get formal training on the different types of resources and help caregivers navigate through the necessary paperwork and requirements of each resource.
Sam’s Caregiver Alliance group has partnered with New Season Church to provide a Caregiver Closet through our Kindness with Care Initiative which will include personal care essential items for caregivers and their loved ones. We understand the hardship and financial burden of caring for a loved one. We are here to lighten the burden with helping you with your everyday needs. Our Caregiver Closet will be stocked with lotions, shampoo, conditioner, adult diapers, bed pads, detergent, toothbrushes, toothpaste, Kroger gift cards and other nonperishable items.
