Aging in the 21st Century: What Caregivers Need to Know Now with Dr. Elliot
Montgomery Sklar and Lucy Barylak, MSW The COVID-19 pandemic revealed many problems in our healthcare system, especially in long-term care settings. Many seniors and their families consider the option of long-term care at some point, but the pandemic has made us rethink those options. In addition to long-term care, some are considering aging-in-place or living with relatives if they can. Our sessions will explore these options and will offer tips and resources that support healthy aging for all in a post-pandemic world. What do caregivers and seniors need to look for in a long-term care facility? What questions should you be asking? What do you need to consider? We’ll also discuss the ongoing staffing shortage in long-term care.
