Being a caregiver is physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging. That’s why we provide caregiver support. There is help and you are not alone.
As older adults begin to anticipate a greater need for care and support, a geriatric consultation can help determine your mental, social and emotional needs and how these needs connect with physical and medical conditions. Developing a care plan and learning what community resources are available to help as a whole can link you with access to care and support programs you need.
Contact Dennis Wildman, CSW/MSW at 435-716-8546 to schedule an appointment.
Are you a caregiver? Caregivers are family members or friends who provide care and assistance to older adults and people with chronic health conditions or disabilities. As a caregiver, you likely help with a variety of routine tasks such as shopping, paying bills, bathing, dressing, and managing medicines. You are a source of emotional support and companionship. You operate as a “care coordinator” and advocate for your care receiver. It is likely you have not received training or preparation for this important role.
There is help and you are not alone.

Are you or someone you know grieving a loss or the death of someone close? Whether the person who died was your parent, spouse, child or friend, one thing is the same: you can find comfort in the companionship and benefit from knowing you are not alone in your experience of grief and loss. Peaceful Healing is an open ended weekly education and support group held each Monday from 3:30 pm-4:30 pm. Join Dennis Wildman, CSW/MSW as he helps provide healing as you find hope and affirm your coping skills at The Worx Outpatient Therapy and Fitness at 209 W 300 North in Logan.
The commitment and responsibility of caring for another person can begin slowly when a family member’s needs increase or suddenly with a major health event. Caregiving can feel like a new career – yet one with tasks you have never been trained to do.
Caregiver 101 builds skills, knowledge, and confidence to help you on this journey. With a focus on building a toolkit with a personal set of resources, abilities, and skills, this four-session series provides education and practical caregiving techniques.
