    Free conference for family caregivers


    Home Instead Senior Care offices serving New Jersey has scheduled a Web conference for family caregivers on Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. EST as part of National Family Caregivers Month. It is free and open to the public.

    The Web conference, the Best Care for Your Parents: Senior Care Solutions and Potential Pitfalls, will be co-hosted by Suzanne Mintz, president and CEO of the non-profit National Family Caregivers Association, and Home Instead Senior Care Co-Founder and CEO Paul Hogan. The session is designed to help family caregivers plan for their loved ones’ care.

    According to Home Instead Senior Care research, planning for care is out of sight and out of mind for half of seniors ages 65 to 75 who have not thought about their own future needs. The research also found that nearly three-fourths of adult children, when unaided in the survey, could name no more than two of eight options available to seniors who can no longer live independently.

    To register for the Web conference go to www.caregiverstress.com.
