in Caregiving
A one-of-a-kind
VIP Day
for families serious about
preparing for caregiving,
protecting finances,
preserving relationships,
and optimizing
emotional health
Would you like to understand the "big picture" in caregiving and what it means for your specific family dynamics?
Would you like to understand your family's greatest caregiving vulnerabilities, and receive a number of tailored, potential solutions, so that when a crisis strikes, you're not starting from scratch?
If so, I'm so glad you're here!
I’m a two-time cancer caregiver to my parents and both diagnoses happened at pivotal times in my personal and professional life. My Dad died in 2006 and my mom is cancer-free and enjoying time with her grandson. I have lived the spectrum.
How it works
Based upon the responses from your Questionnaire, before the VIP Day begins Allison will analyze your family's caregiving strengths and vulnerabilities, and come to the VIP day with questions, suggestions, and recommendations.
The VIP Day allows your family to engage in an immersive and clarifying Caregiving Assessment for one individual, who is the subject of the VIP Day.
The Point of Contact will receive a document outlining critical information to collect before the VIP Day from the individual, as well as important questions to consider themselves.
During the VIP Day Allison will facilitate discussion around the major caregiving vulnerabilities for the individual. The agenda will be created based upon Allison's assessment of information shared before the VIP Day, as well as suggestions from family members who will actively participate in the session, who will have the opportunity to email Allison directly.
Within 4 days of the VIP Day the Point of Contact will receive a recording of the session (unless there is a technology issue), a written record of key decisions made by the family, and Allison's tailored list of next steps to take.
If you'd like to learn more about the VIP Day, please contact Allison at hello@cozycaregivercafe, with the subject line "VIP Day," and you will receive a response within one business day to answer all your questions!
Is the VIP Day recorded?
The VIP Day is recorded, and that recording is shared with the individual who purchases the VIP Day, known as Allison's "Point of Contact." The Point of Contact has full decision-making over whether the video of the meeting is then shared with others.
Yes! There is no need to travel! The VIP Day will be conducted entirely over Zoom, and your family will be the only members present on the Zoom call.
Each VIP Day lasts approximately 3-4 hours, with short breaks as needed. The entire VIP Day will take place on one day (it is not broken up into two days). Allison's written recommendations and list of decisions made by the family during the VIP Day will be sent to the Point of Contact within 4 days of the VIP Day.
The VIP Day is designed to incorporate the major players in a caregiving situation. The structure of the VIP Day is such that all major players will have the opportunity to share their thoughts on certain issues, so more players does run the risk of less time for everyone to speak. Family and friends are also welcome to listen into the discussion but not participate. These roles are determined by the Point of Contact and communicated to Allison before the VIP Day begins.
How do payments and scheduling work?
Full payment is required to schedule your VIP Day. You have the opportunity to reschedule your VIP Day one time, with 24 hours notice in writing to [email protected]. Once payment is made there are no refunds unless Allison cannot facilitate your VIP Day.
Your VIP Day includes a Caregiving Assessment of one individual. If you want a Caregiving Assessment for both aging parents, for instance, who are married and living together, the VIP Day can be extended for 1.5 hours to incorporate the second parent for an additional $2,500.
A second family member who does not meet the above criteria (married and living with the first family member) can receive a Caregiving Assessment on a separate VIP Day for an additional $3,500.
