Recent studies indicate that 80% of caregiving duties are provided by family members. Many people suddenly find themselves faced with this overwhelming responsibility and have never received formal training on how to properly care for elderly loved ones. The goal of our free online training program is to help reduce the stress of the family caregiver and help them maintain a healthy work/life/family balance.

It is often difficult to find the time to be able to attend formal caregiver training classes. Blessings! For Seniors recognizes the importance of receiving professional training for family caregivers and has partnered with aQuire Training Solutions, a nationally recognized on-line training program to provide FREE professional Caregiver and Alzheimer's Care training through our "Family Learning Center".

The "Family Learning Center" is open to all family caregivers in our community and is designed to help family caregivers understand the aging process, how to take care of yourself and provide a solid foundation to help care for your elder loved ones.
