Building Caregiver Partnerships

The educational tools were developed and pilot-tested through the dedicated efforts of an interdisciplinary Steering Committee from Northeast Ohio Medical University and Summa Health, Akron Ohio.

The Film

The foundational piece of this project is a 20-minute film, No Roadmap: Caregiver Journeys, designed to generate discussion on core issues related to home-based eldercare. The film is a tribute to all the families who travel the caregiving road with no map, but with conviction and love to guide them.
