How to Create a Plan of Care
—Courses and Pricing
Welcome to our Plan of Care courses on caregiver burnout! Caregiving is a noble and compassionate role, but it can also be emotionally and physically draining. As dedicated as you may be to supporting a loved one or patient, it’s essential to recognize and address your own well-being too.
Our Plan of Care courses are specifically designed to provide you with the tools, knowledge, and strategies to understand, prevent, and cope with caregiver burnout. Dive deep into understanding the signs, the underlying causes, and effective interventions to ensure that while you care for others, you don’t neglect yourself. Join us on this enlightening journey and empower yourself to provide care sustainably and with renewed energy.
Pricing of Our Plan of Care Courses
The pricing for our Plan of Care Courses was created with you in mind! That is because many caregivers suffering from burnout cannot afford to hire a professional caregiver or DSP a few days a week on a regular basis to give them a break. Why not? What is the cost of caregiving through professional caregiving agencies if you don’t have insurance?
According to statistics the median hourly rate of caregiving in the United States is as follows:
- $24 an hour
- For just 8 hours of care it’s $192 a day!
- If you only needed a caregiver 22 days a month for 8 hours a day it would cost $4,224!
So for the full month or 30 days for just 8 hours of care a day, that’s an additional $1,536 a month totaling $5,760! This is why caregivers suffering from burnout remains in a desperate situation, because in addition to cost, there is little to no money to benefit these poor caregivers and their families!
Our Plan of Care Course Cost
Taking these factors into consideration, I wanted to design a Plan of Care Course for my fellow caregivers that was cost effective and that could be completed in a relatively short period of time because time is something these caregivers do not have as they struggle with day to day caregiving needs. For this reason my ONE TIME (or priced for your convenience) cost is less than one forth the median cost of caregiving EVERY MONTH through professional caregiving agencies. Also, the training and materials you will receive in your course are skills and tools you will use throughout the whole duration of your love one’s illness!
The following are the prices and timeframe for each training course and what you will expect from each week. It is outlined in a 4 week span but the training can take 4-6 weeks.
