Elder Care Series at Calvert Library

 

Calvert Library is partnering with a number of specialists to present a series on Elder Care this Fall.  The events will all be held on Tuesday evenings at 7pm at Calvert Library Prince Frederick.  On September 9, Lee Ann Stedman, owner of Circle of Care and Lyn Striegel, attorney at an estate planning group and financial columnist, will be presenting Alzheimer’s and Dementias:  Planning in the Early Stages.  Attendees will learn the difference between normal signs of aging and signs of something more troubling.  You will be given tips on how to talk to your parents about their wishes early enough that their judgment hasn’t been altered.  You will learn about power of attorney, living wills, co-signing on accounts and managing passwords and medical records.  There will be time for questions and answers. 

 

            The second workshop planned for September 30, is Alzheimer’s and Dementias: Care Over Time which will address issues of keeping the mind and body active, communication and more.    Other topics will include Planning for Long Term Care, Warning Signs that Help is Needed, Dealing with Depression, Diet and Nutrition for Seniors and Fall Prevention.  Some of the presenters will include estate planning attorney Rose Crunkleton, Home Health Products Express owner Mimi Quade, social worker and Angels of Care owners Mattie & Tyler Stott and Chef/owner of No Thyme to Cook, Gwyn Novak. The complete schedule is available on the Calvert Library website, calvertlibrary.info.  

 

These workshops are free and open to the public.  Registration is requested but not required.  For more information, call the Calvert Library Prince Frederick at 410-535-0291 or 301-855-1862 or check the website at calvertlibrary.info
