Benefits to Rehab Therapy & Caregiver Support

"When we look at roles, routines, and the day-to-day tasks, we can generate that into being able to support a group and facilitate, so that they can not only get the mental health component but also get the component of how do I do this life now?

Her passion for serving caregivers began when she became a long-distance caregiver of her late grandmother for eight years. Coming from a small family, she directly understands the time, emotional, physical, and financial toll caregiving wears on the caregiver. Thus, Caregiver Thrive, a care and wellness program for caregivers, was created. The program bridges the gap for caregivers who recognize the value of taking care of themselves, need therapeutic support and/or practical tips for their loved one, and desire a holistic wellness model, but don't want to google their way through the answers. Caregiver Thrive provides the concierge model of care with compassion and respect to their environment. _________________________________________________________ Contact Kim Hegwood- Elder Law Attorney Website: https://yourlegacylegalcare.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourlegacylegalcare/ Facebook –https://www.facebook.com/YourLegacyLegalCare LinkedIn-https://www.linkedin.com/company/yourlegacylegalcare/ YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/@yourlegacylegalcare Your Legacy Legal Care 1150 Clear Lake City Blvd., Suite 100 Houston, TX 77062 (281) 218-0880
