HomeCare of West Suburban Boston, along with Brookdale Senior Living in Dedham, is hosting a CEU Program, “How to Accommodate and Mediate Aging in the Family”, on Tuesday, February 9th from 7:30am to 9:30am at Brookdale in Dedham.
Our program will provide 1.5 CEUs for social workers and 1.5 CEs for Licensed Mental Health Counselors, but will enable all participants to initiate conversations with clients and caregivers about difficult issues around aging, capacity, safety, and mobility. This tool can be used by families in crisis and those seeking to avoid crisis.
We put the program together with two experienced family mediators and attorneys, Ellen Waldorf and Deborah Danger. Ellen has helped families in transition through her mediation practice for 14 years. Deborah is an estate planning attorney who has served as a care manager to elder clients transitioning to assisted living. She also mediates among families on issues like the distribution of an estate, easing tensions brought on by illness or death, and transitioning family members into age and capacity appropriate living situations. Ellen and Deborah will lead this engaging program through role playing exercises, assisted by Wendy Adlerstein, LSW, FirstLight Home Care’s Director of Client Care Services.
If you are a professional interested in attending, you can RSVP to Brookdale Senior Living at [email protected], [email protected] or 781-407-7711.
