Partnership to provide resources for caregivers
The Hospice Foundation of America (HFA) has partnered with AssistGuide Information Services (AGIS), an online community and information resource for family caregivers, to offer advice and information on end-of-life issues for caregivers. The AGIS web site is www.agis.com.
"This partnership enables HFA to reach a large audience of caregivers who are looking for answers about a variety of end-of-life issues, including caring for someone who is dying, hospice care, and grief," said David Abrams, HFA president, in a prepared statement. "This partnership is exciting for us because AGIS is one of the few online communities to have successfully reached across generations to provide information that all of us will someday need."
The AGIS elder care portal showcases HFA's expertise in caregiving issues involving terminal illness, grief, emotional pain, and other complex issues associated with the last months or weeks of a loved one's life.
The new AGIS interactive HFA "Ask the Experts" section enables families to find specific answers to personal challenges easily online.
AGIS site includes long-term care resources, Alzheimer's disease and dementia information, legal and financial preparation tips, checklists, and suggestions for new caregivers. Other groups partnering with AGIS include Alzheimer's Foundation of America and the Family Caregiver Alliance.
