Many caregivers cannot leave home due to caregiving responsibilities. You can participate in a web-based seminar — or webinar — from the privacy of your home. Join either live or view the archived version within a few days of the live webinar (in most cases). All webinars listed are free. Here are webinars that may be of interest to caregivers in April 2017.

Understanding the Value of Home Care
Program: Home is where older adults want to stay. Nine out of 10 Americans that are ages 65 and older would like to remain in their homes for as long as possible. However, nearly 70 percent of those who reach age 65 will at some point be unable to care for themselves without assistance. This web seminar will discuss the value of homecare on a rapidly growing aging population.
Presenter: Lakelyn Hogan
Presented by American Society on Aging and Home Instead Senior Care

“Anchor Me”
Program: During caregiving, you can feel like you are left to blow in the wind. Family relationships change, friends may disappear, faith may be tested and hope may be compromised. You need a new anchor.
