FAMILY CAREGiving with a difference

Today more than ever before, families are being called to care for ill or aging loved ones in the home setting. While caring for a loved one is an honor it can also be more difficult than we ever imagined it could be. 

Illness and age are predictable and once we know and understand this, it becomes far easier to help our loved ones navigate the terrain they are traveling upon. The M.A.P.S. program teaches family members how to meet their loved one’s where they are at, rather than trying to make their loved one’s journey fit into someone else’s plan. Our program is based first and foremost on Informed Care, therefore , at the heart of this training, is a document called the M.A.P.S. Itinerary. This template style booklet is filled out with their loved one’s input. When complete, it is essentially their loved one’s  self created map of how they would like their journey forward to look. 

Once the map is in place, moving forward together is a much easier endeavor.

All training modules are built upon the M.A.P.S. Navigation philosophy –  the proprietary caregiver education system created by our founder Dr. Annette Childs.
