Thinking & Preparing Ahead: Eugene Long-Term Care and Caregiving Forum April 16, 2009

---

It usually starts small perhaps running a few errands or preparing some meals. Maybe you dont even see yourself as a caregiver yet. Or sometimes the changes can be more dramatic and sudden. But as your loved ones age they will need more help. And perhaps you will too. It can be a struggle to maintain independence, know what resources are available to help, and how to navigate the system. Have you thought about:

What are your options when someone requires daily assistance?
What sorts of support and resources are available locally?
What you can do to plan ahead?

If you currently provide care for an aging loved one, or expect to do so in the next few years, come learn about the information, services and resources available in your community.
