Hello, everyone! My name is Nina Rosenberg and I’m the new Caregiver Specialist for BayPath Elder Services, and I’ll be managing these posts.

We apologize for the lack of new content on this blog for the last few weeks. We have been undergoing some personnel changes in our Caregiving Department and we needed a little time to get everyone up to speed on all of new roles and duties. But we are eager to introduce Nina Rosenberg as our new Caregiver Specialist and new caretaker of this blog, and we are confident you will find her future posts informative and insightful.

BayPath Elder Services, Inc. and Avidia Bank have announced a new three-year partnership to help us continue to deliver needed information, resources and support to family caregivers throughout MetroWest.

We've upgraded one of the site's most popular and informative features, with a makeover to the Wellness Wall that makes it easier to navigate for caregivers seeking advice and tips from Caregiver Specialist Alicia Rego.

Check out our Additional Resources section for updated information on unique services to help caregivers, including recent entries on Senior Move Managers and Independent Living Centers.

We have designed a brief online survey for feedback from users to help us understand what features, resources or information we provide have been most useful, discover what areas we can improve upon and learn more about how caregivers and professionals working with caregivers access and utilize the site.

Caregiving MetroWest continues to improve and enhance the information provided and the experience enjoyed by the visitors who come to the site. We have just introduced one of our biggest improvements, upgrading the site to a “Responsive Design” that allows smartphone, tablet, laptop, and desktop users to all experience the same access to comprehensive caregiver resources, information and support.

Caregiving MetroWest was recently honored by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, winning second place nationally in the Aging Innovations category for the development of the CaregivingMetroWest.org website.

BayPath Elder Services and key stakeholders from all sectors of the community are coming together to help create dementia-friendly communities in MetroWest through the Come 2B Dementia Friendly program. Check out Caregiving MetroWest's new section on dementia-friendly communities to learn more.

Caregiving MetroWest continues to strive to meet the needs of are caregivers with new content and features, including the recent additions of Alicia Rego's Wellness Wall and Advice for Young Caregivers by Liz Tretiak.
