This class will help you provide support, guidance and resources for anyone helping older adults transition through the stages of aging! Participants will have an opportunity to learn from a Medical College of WI Geriatrician, who will review the stages of aging and how to recognize which stage your loved one is in. Attendees will learn how a family caregiver can proactively prepare for each stage to create a supportive environment, while still taking care of themselves. Participants will also be provided a list of free local community resources related to living, financial, clinical and other situations often encountered with caregiving. Presented by Edmund H. Duthie, Jr., MD, FACP, AGSF and Diane Ehn, Vice President of Post-Acute Care for Froedtert Health.
