Mobile Health Services Provide Relief to Unpaid Caregivers

Meet Barb. Barb is taking care of her ailing father and has a full-time job, husband, and two kids. She spends an average of two-three hours a day on caregiving activities for her father in addition to her other family responsibilities. Barb says she is continuously exhausted, stressed and has no time for herself, which affects her health and wellbeing.

 

Her story is the reality for an estimated 2.5 million Ontarians who work and are un-paid caregivers to someone who is ill, disabled, or aging. Across Canada, 3 in 10 people are caregivers.

 

According to The Change Foundation, most caregivers said that caregiving had an impact on their job.

Things like:

  • Being late for work
  • Leaving early from work
  • Missing an average of six days of work
  • Leaving employment (having quit or been fired) because of caregiving
 
 

At Integrity Healthcare Consultants, we want to take some of the burdens off individuals who are trying to balance work and family caregiving.

In addition to providing advocacy services and corporate wellness programs to ease health concerns in the workplace, our health services are perfect for those who are caring for sick, disabled or aging family members.

 

Some of the things we can help with include:

  • Attend medical appointments and hospital visits
  • Medication review and management
  • Advanced care plans
  • Diagnosis review and education
  • Coordination of integrated care including assisted living
  • Health coaching and guidance
  • And so much more!
