Ucare Caregiver Events

Become involved with those who educate or attend classes to become educated yourselves. Professionals attend these classes as well, so it may be a way to network and find an internship in the professionals for seniors realm.

Ucare is a website developed by the Department of Human Resources as a resource for caregivers to find answers about long-term care, services available for seniors, and services available for caregivers.

The Ucare Caregiver Guide provides classes which give hands-on training on a variety of topics of caregivers. The classes will start the last week in March and run for 9 weeks. There is a $3 charge for each class, or the whole set of classes cost $20.

One participant said, "It is a new world - this care-taking business ... Who would have known that life just doesn't come to a rainbow end for our loved ones, but rather, we have to travel a very different road than we ever have before to help them finish with grace and dignity and proper care."
