Boots and Bricks supports the caregivers — both professional and family — who do the hardest work in our community. Our skills training cohorts build employable caregivers, our family-caregiver coaching helps loved ones handle the day-to-day, and our respite hours give family caregivers room to breathe.
About This Service
💼 The caregiver work is grueling — and too often invisible. We invest in the people doing it: training new caregivers for the workforce, coaching family members supporting a loved one at home, and providing real respite hours so family caregivers don't burn out.
Our training cohorts combine hands-on skills (mobility transfers, medication reminders, dementia-aware communication) with the practical realities of working in clients' homes — the kind of training a textbook can't teach. Graduates come out prepared to work with agencies like ours, or to feel confident in caring for their own family member.
Family caregivers also need support. Whether you're newly caring for an aging parent, navigating a chronic condition, or simply exhausted after years of full-time care — our one-on-one coaching provides practical guidance, and our respite hours give you time to step away without worrying about who'll be there.
The Process
Whether you're joining a cohort or booking coaching — getting started is simple and centered on what you actually need.
Email or call us and tell us what you're looking for — entering the caregiver workforce, building skills as a family caregiver, or scheduling respite hours. We'll point you to the right program and the next available cohort or opening.
For training cohorts, you'll join a small group for hands-on sessions over several weeks. For coaching, we'll schedule one-on-one sessions tailored to your family situation. For respite, we'll coordinate the hours with one of our background-checked caregivers.
Training graduates stay connected through alumni check-ins and job-placement support. Family caregivers continue to access coaching, respite scheduling, and a community of others walking a similar path. We're with you for the long run.
