In 2008 the foundation added a program called Care for Our Wounded Soldiers to support families caring for returning wounded soldiers who face unique caregiving situations. This Caregiver’s Support Kit® is dedicated to all the American military men and women who have served our country during armed conflicts. The National Caregiving Foundation extends to them our deepest thanks and respect for the sacrifice that they have made to defend our freedom and to keep us safe. It is our most fervent wish that this Caregiver’s Support Kit® will help families resume loving, caring relationships, managing their injuries and stresses while adjusting to life after their service. The kit includes the following chapters: § Caring and Coping § Welcome Home § Caregiving § Rights of Patients § Rights of Caregivers § Medication Management and Daily Care § Unique Services for Veterans § Stress § Depression § Traumatic Brain Injury § Creating Advocates – Not Adversaries § Bereavement § Safety in the Home § Support Services § Going Into a Facility § Help for the Caregiver § Online Training § Family & Friends Connection Online § The Public Vocational Rehabilitation Program § Vocational Rehabilitation State Office Listing § Preparing for Disaster for People with Disabilities § Basic First Aid § Veterans Affairs Offices § Web Sites § Hotlines § Emergency Procedures § Health Care Planning and Optional Forms This kit is provided -- at no charge – through the contributions of many generous and caring individuals across the country. If you know someone who would benefit from a Caregiver’s Support Kit® for Our Returning and Wounded Soldiers, please request it by calling our toll-free number: 1-888-328-1002 |
