Free Seminar Pasadena Hilton, Saturday, March 9, 10 am – 1 pm
Many adult children find themselves in crisis when they have to suddenly care for an elderly family member. Most are totally unprepared for the daunting financial and emotional strain they face when a crisis occurs.
“Raising up your parents” is a unique FREE elder care seminar presented by elder care guru, Susan B Geffen.
Designed to help Baby Boomers prepare for the inevitable or cope better with an already existing situation, “Raising UP Your Parents” answers a multitude of questions about caring for the elderly and preparing for the future. Susan clarifies questions like “What is the difference between “Assisted Living” and a “Skilled Nursing Facility?” “What is the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia?” “How do you care a parent who needs your help?”
As a Master’s gerontologist, elder law attorney and former elder law professor, Susan has worked closely with hundreds of families who are trying to help a parent or relative struggling with elder care issues.
“This is not a senior health fair with a chance to win a cruise. Our audience is serious about learning and obtaining answers to hard questions from someone who truly understands what they are going through and where they are headed” without having to spend countless hours on the phone or navigating the internet” says Geffen.
“Many people think the government will pay for everything when they are older. It won’t, and that is a real dangerous myth that I try to dispel.”
Who should come to this event? Baby Boomers, adult children who are caregivers, elderly spouses, and anyone who anticipates caring for an elderly person in the future.
Susan B. Geffen’s “Raising up your parents” seminar is FREE to all.
Here’s your chance to get all of your elder care questions answerd
at the Pasadena Hilton, Saturday, March 9, 10 am to 1 pm.
