Caregivers need care. too….and a new program promoting wellness among employees of New Brunswick nursing homes is being launched this month.
A survey was conducted that revealed caregivers need more information on how their habits effect their physical and psychological health on and off the job. The first year of the program will focus on cardiovascular diseases prevention, mental health, diabetes and cancer prevention, and musculoskeletal injuries.
Three thousand New Brunswickers are employed in nursing homes.
