Education

By Mary Waters Auer 

In April, members of CCA gathered to talk about the aspects family members face when dealing with the care of a loved one. When we talk about aging, people tend to think of individuals in their late eighties and nineties whose mental and physical health is failing.  However, the same challenges that those individuals face can come on suddenly from an accident, cancer diagnosis, or other medical emergencies. 
  
We discussed the types of resources available for family members. Resources provided by the state and nonprofits can help navigate general topics on aging, making housing decisions, fraud, and elder abuse.  At a high level we touched on the housing options available as people progress through care, plus issues related to financial concerns, safety concerns, and documentation that everyone should have.  CCA members can review the presentation here.
