Caregiver’s day celebrations By Yes I Can team

Yes I Can Foundation felicitated ‘caregivers’ – workers working for elderly people living in old age home.

“Caregiver’s kindness can transform someone’s dark moment with a blaze of light. You’ll never know how much your caring matter. Make a difference for another today.” ― Amy Leigh Mercree.

Caregiver is a person who provides direct care to senior citizens, chronically ill, for children.

It is important to recognize their efforts and appreciate their work towards disadvantaged people.

Yes I Can Foundation felicitated caregivers in Mumbai- an old age home ‘ special care unit ‘ who looks after senior citizens.

Residents in the old age home appreciated their caregivers and caregivers too shared their bonding experiences with old age home residents.

One of the caregiver celebrated her birthday and Yes I Can Foundation offered her appreciation reward on this memorable occasion.

The aim behind this caregiver’s day celebration was to make caregivers aware about how special they are, how important they are and also psychosocial session on how they can cope with stress during their duties and responsibilities. .

Some important inputs given on :

  • Handling stressful situations
  • Warning signs of mental health disorders in elderly people
  • First aid information

Testimonial of one of the caretaker ‘Mamta’ as follow:

‘I thank Yes I Can Foundation for recognizing my efforts. I come for remote village in Maharashtra; I miss my children and family as they stay in village. But I feel special here because of lots of blessings from these elderly people. This job is stressful but at the same time it teaches me how to overcome challenges’
