About Us

Welcome to CarePartnersResource.com.

Taking on the role of caregiver is a life-changing decision. I know, because I took care of both of my parents when my mother had a  stroke and could no longer caregiver for my father who was a diabetic on dialysis. After my  mother survived her stroke she was severly aphasic (lost her ability to use language to communicate) and was left with  right sided paralysis.

Along with the knowledge I gained from being a caregiver, I work regularly with National Stroke Association in their professional education department on programs for healthcare professionals, survivors, and caregivers. I am also a Certified Instructor of the Journal to the Self® workshop and offer journaling workshops to help you personally grow as a caregiver. Learn more about how you can participate in a workshop.

The advice given on this site is from my observations, challenges and experiences of caring for a stroke survivor for 8 years. I am not a medical professional nor do I give medical advice. My goal is to share the lessons I learned along my caregiving journey so that you can smoothly navigate your own. Caregiving can be one of the most challenging things you will ever do. It can also be the most rewarding. I encourage you to join our free online membership for exclusive and practical tips and resources for your own journey as a caregiver.
