About this Event
The Caregivers Forum is an annual event in support of family caregivers by the very best in local resources for those aging in place.
Hosted by the Senior Friendship Centers, at the Harvest House Venue on Feb. 8, 2025.
Our event will open with continental breakfast and coffee station as our Patron guests find a reserved seat at round tables in front of the stage.
This year, we will feature two exceptional MD Keynote Presentations from Dr. Miguel Rivera (Geri-Psychiatrist, "the Dementia Doc") and Dr Derrick DeSilva (35 yr Internal Medicine and Functional Medicine MD, focused on wellness)
This year, we will offer two expert "boots on the ground" break-out sessions for Caregivers to fortify their caregiving plan and support system. In this registration's question section along with your name and email, you will be asked to select your two break-out speakers:
Paula Falk- Creating your circle of care team, a hands-on planning session
John Griffin- Building your emergency, long term and legal plans
Pam Polowski- Understanding dementia care, aging-in-place with their loved one
We'll then enjoy a delicious, catered lunch with a choice of two lunch selections (the veggie wrap is gluten & dairy free), and conversation with community resource partners and other caregivers.
The event will wrap up with a panel of local senior service experts and moderated panel discussion. As a busy caregiver- you are free to come and go as your schedule allows.
