Industry, Caregiving Experts Team Up to Help Ease the Burden of Primary Caregivers

A new program to train volunteer caregivers and ultimately help ease the burden of caregiving for America's rapidly aging population is now available.

A new program to train volunteer caregivers and ultimately help ease the burden of caregiving for America's rapidly aging population is now available. Three years in the making, this comprehensive training manual produced for organizations that train volunteer caregivers was created by nine aging, health care and caregiving organizations and sponsored by Eisai Inc., a research-based pharmaceutical company in Teaneck, New Jersey. The manual is available free of charge to qualified organizations with training programs for volunteer support caregivers or plans to begin one.

Caregiver spokesman Bishop Kenneth Hicks, chairman of the board, Interfaith Caregivers Alliance, praised the training program as a model of how industry and nonprofit organizations can work together to help meet the need for high quality care for the growing population of older Americans.

"I salute Eisai and the organizations that created this manual for helping to assure high quality training for volunteer caregivers," said Bishop Hicks. "Caregivers are truly special people. It is an exhausting job and volunteers can provide much needed respite to primary caregivers, as well as care for older adults who have no family or friends to act as primary caregivers or who simply cannot afford the cost of professional care."
A comprehensive training resource is needed now more than ever. Between 1988 and 1996, the number of caregiving households in the United States tripled to approximately 22 million. Currently, more than 14 million full- and part-time American workers are balancing careers and caregiving responsibilities.

And in 1997 alone, it was estimated that unpaid caregivers provided the equivalent of $196 billion in care.

The manual, "Caring to Help Others: A Training Manual for Preparing Volunteers to Assist Caregivers of Older Adults," consists of more than 500 pages of information organized and written in a user-friendly style. Topics include the aging process; age-related health conditions and challenges; the need for sensitivity, understanding and respect for older adults; how to work effectively with a team of family caregivers and professional health care providers; legal and safety issues; and dealing with relationships and the loss of loved ones. It contains several useful tools for trainers, including handouts, exercises, guidelines for recruiting volunteers and forms for record-keeping.

"Caring to Help Others" was developed by an Advisory Council of representatives from top caregiving advocacy groups: AARP, Hospice Association of America, Interfaith Caregivers Alliance, National Alliance for Caregiving, National Association for Home Care, The National Council on the Aging, Inc., National Family Caregivers Association, Towson University Department of Gerontology, and the Alzheimer's Association, Greater New Jersey Chapter. Bill Sheldon, president of Eisai Inc., participated as a council member and sponsor representative.

"We could not have created this program without the valuable insights and commitment of these nine organizations," he said. "We at Eisai are pleased to be able to provide what we hope will be a useful resource to all organizations that train volunteer caregivers.

This project exemplifies Eisai's dedication to our human health care mission, which takes our company beyond the business of discovering and developing new prescription medicines. As an organization, we feel that our mission is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families in any way we can. We believe that this resource will help us achieve that goal."

The manual is available free of charge to qualified organizations for training volunteer support caregivers. Organizations that meet the established qualification criteria may apply for free copies of the training manual by sending requests on their letterhead to Caring To Help Others, P.O. Box 5376, New York, NY 10185-5376. The manual also will be available on a Web site in 2001.
