PDHCA’s “Help Choose Home” Webinar Series
As the demographic explosion of aging boomers materializes, a greater need for in-home care is mounting. Many people do not understand what home care is, how to get it, what it costs, or what the benefits are from receiving long-term care at home. As part of the Private Duty Homecare Association’s (PDHCA) mission to educate families about the appropriate use of in-home care services, the national organization has introduced an educational webinar series entitled “Help Choose Home”.
On September 6, 2011 at 7 p.m. EDT, PDHCA and Caring.com will host the first webinar, a Basic Primer on Home Care. I will co-present the inaugural webinar with Caring.com expert Mary Koffend. Registration is available at https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/205754234.
Many adult children assume the only care option for their parents is a nursing home or to manage their care as a family caregiver. PDHCA’s first discussion, a Basic Primer on Home Care, will cover topics such as the definitions of home care; the benefits of home care; the types of in-home care; the importance of respite for families; paying for home care; and resources for seniors and families.
