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.
