Elder Caregiving in the Age of COVID on Thursday, March 18 from 7:00 – 8:30 pm
The novel coronavirus has changed everything this year. And that includes how we care for our loved ones. Our elders are at high risk for infection. And we can’t provide the care we used to the same way we once did. So, what can we do – and what can we not? We’ll talk about how the virus has affected caregiving, how to establish and honor boundaries, and what resources are out there to help us provide the best care possible for those we love. Individual questions will be encouraged and addressed, and resources for further assistance will be provided.
