SAFFORD — The Graham County Health Department and the Alzheimer’s Association are teaming to host a caregiver resource fair.
“Let’s get back to basics of resources,” said Rosa Contreras, Health Program coordinator for the Health Department. “What is that people need? Brining in our different partners (to share) what’s available.”
The fair will feature a number of service providers that can help caregivers with a number of needs, such as home care, home-delivered meals, support services, education for caregivers and more.
Contreras said there will also be speakers available to address specific issues
“Like financial preparation, taking care of your mental health, self care, learning a little bit more about what is that caregivers go through on a daily basis,” Contreras said.
The Caregiver Resource Fair will take place Thursday, Nov. 3, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Safford City-Graham County Library programming room.
In addition to the Health Department and Alzheimer’s Association, partners include SEACUS (Southeastern Arizona Community Unique Services), SEAHEC (Southeastern Arizona Health Education Center), SEAGO (Southeastern Arizona Governments Organization), the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona, Essential Patient Care and Eden Home Health.
