Alzheimer’s Disease Caregivers to Benefit from A Good Daughter at Broward Convention Center
 
The Fearless Caregiver Conference at the Broward Convention Center will be held Saturday, April 16th. The event allows family caregivers and the professional caregiving community to come together and explore ways to be a more productive member of their loved one’s care team. According to Olga Bruner, founder of A Good Daughter, Inc., based in Margate, Florida (www.agooddaughter.com), “I attended my first caregiver conference in 2001 while I was caregiver to my own mom. I never realized that there was such a large community of support, and resources available from local experts. It’s a must-do especially for those individuals caring at home for a loved-one with Alzheimer’s disease.”

As Today’s Caregiver Magazine celebrates its 10th anniversary, families will hear from this year’s featured guest speaker, popular musical artist and American Idol superstar, Clay Aiken, who has been involved in care giving issues himself and founded the Bubel/Aiken Foundation.

Brunner’s community involvement throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties continues a few days later when she will speak


at the FAU (Florida Atlantic University) campus on April 20th. The presentation will address options available to students in the Health Administration Degree programs. Brunner notes, “This is an important topic because students need to be aware that they can they seek employment from a large facility or health care institution, or look for entrepreneurial caregiving opportunities right in their own communities.”

Brunner understands this entrepreneurial option. As the founder of A Good Daughter, Inc., she has applied her knowledge of the Health Care Industry and the care of the elderly into a superior caring service having joined forces with R.N. Mary Lynne Beringer. Together the two champions of senior caregiving and healthcare will discuss obstacles and the experiences that lead them to start their own very successful caregiving company.
