Providing care for a person with a life-threatening illness can be challenging. Evergreen provides tools and supports to help make the job a little bit easier.
Respite Support
Finding time for self care is often a challenge for a caregiver. We offer trained volunteers for respite visits so that you can look after yourself too.
Drop-in Caregiver Support Group
Offered several times a month at several locations, drop-in support group meetings give opportunities for learning, sharing and support from other caregivers in the community. (See ‘Circle of Care’ and ‘Caregiver Support Group’ on our calendar)
Telephone Support
Our staff will check in with you and provide resources and support over the phone when you can’t get out of the house.
Seminars and Learning
Sign up for our “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” seminars and learn more about caring for yourself and your loved-one.
Emotional Support
A diagnosis of a life-threatening illness can result in a huge emotional upheaval for family members. Our counsellors can work with everyone involved to help them cope.
Caregiver Resource Mailings
A tailored package of support materials are mailed out on a monthly or bi-weekly basis.
