Greeting Caregivers,
Welcome to the 2021 Family Caregiver Expo presented by Call for Caring, Inc in partnership with Impact Church. Today, we celebrate and honor CAREGIVERS for their heroic, tireless efforts when caring for a loved one. Thank you does not seem enough for someone who has provided physical care, created an atmosphere of love and support, and respected their loved one’s wish to the greatest extent possible. TODAY, when counting blessings, let us start with grateful praise for your caregiving heart! Over the last two years, the world has witnessed an unprecedented event, managing our day to day lives during the COVID 19 pandemic. Not only did the world come to a complete halt, but every family also experienced a change in their daily routine. Suddenly, people were faced with medical crisis, social and physical distancing, loss of jobs and loved ones. Over the last 19 months, Caregivers were faced with disruption of community based and volunteer support, and resources programs. During this time, families were faced with caregiving from a distance, relocating family members to and/or from assisted living or nursing homes to decrease the risk of illness or not being able to see each other. The pandemic created new caregiving dynamics for families from managing public health concerns, loved ones wants and needs, differing opinions about safe behaviors and the day-to-day stress associated with uncertainty and challenges of COVID 19.
Despite it all you survived! Doing the best you can with what you have available is a great way to give and receive care.
Once again, we are excited to offer a phenomenal opportunity to provide resources, virtual experiences, seminars, and educational resources designed specifically for YOU.
On behalf of the Atlanta Caregiver Expo Partners - IMPACT Church, Cigna, AARP, Pruitt Home First and Home Helpers North Atlanta, welcome to the 2021 Family Caregiver Expo.
Respectfully, The Atlanta Family Caregiver Expo Committee
