Let Us Help You: Caregiver Support: Transitions of Care
Transitions of Care is a local collaboration between The Dale Association and the Council for Older Adults at HANCI (Health Association of Niagara County, Inc.). The goal of the collaboration is to improve the family caregiver’s ability to manage and coordinate care during and after a care transition, in order to reduce hospital admissions, while improving one's own health and happiness.
A Care Transition is defined as a movement from one care setting to another, such as rehab to home or hospital to home.
A transition coach provides caregivers with meaningful, confidential support while empowering them to feel more prepared to assist their loved ones. The transition coach respects caregiver and patient dignity and independence. Transition coaches are not medical personnel, but they do complete special training and have industry expertise. There is no charge for this service.
Resources and tools are available for caregivers free of charge. Let us help you, help your loved ones.

To learn more, or to schedule time with a transition coach, please call The Dale Association at 716-433-1886 and ask for Angie Blackley; or please call the Council for Older Adults at 716-285-8224 ext. 215 and speak to Dot Swift.
