Task force News For Folks On The Go mobile.newsdurhamregion.com created to advocate for better care- giver support Mandate is to help those who take care of older family members

DURHAM — There is a new task force to help out caregivers in Dur- ham Region. The group is designed to advocate for the improved availability of care- giver support services. The Durham Region Task Force for Community-Based Resources for Caregivers hopes to strengthen the re- lationship between community-based caregivers, the Region of Durham, and the Central East Local Health Integra- tion Network. They plan to improve access to respite care, adult day pro- grams, home care, homemaker ser- vices and educational programs for caregivers in the region. “There is a need to enhance com- munity-based health-care services in a timely fashion. This task force was developed to ensure we have the ser- vices in place to deal with the issues these individuals are facing.” says Os- hawa Councillor April Cullen, chair- woman of the Health and Social Ser- vices Committee. There is an increasing number of people in the Durham Region who are taking care of older family members in their home. The new task force aims to assist these people in provid- ing quality care. “This coalition will greatly assist all caregivers by helping to provide ac- cess to the services they truly need,” says Barbara North, a caregiver and one of the advocates for the creation of the task force. To learn more, contact the Region at 905-668-7711 and ask for Director of Long Term Care, Judy Heffern.
