Please Share with Older Adults
in Your Network
From the smart phone in your pocket to smart home thermostats, assistive technology is everywhere! But it can sometimes feel hard to know how or where to start exploring all the options and putting them into practical use. Weʼre here to help people with and without disabilities explore high, low, and no-tech solutions. In easy-to-understand ‘bite size’ lunchtime conversations, we’ll show how to use these solutions in the home, the office, and in the community! Each 45-minute virtual session will highlight one specific topic, demonstrate tools, and leave plenty of time to answer your questions.

Atlantic Health Offers Art of Caregiving Series |
|
|
|
The Bill and Nancy Conger Art of Caregiving Series offers free information and advice for family caregivers.
Whether you’re an experienced caregiver or brand new to the role, there’s an art to providing care for an aging loved one. Caregiving is not a “one size fits all” experience and often requires learning how to navigate the eldercare maze, as well as how to balance your own needs with those of your loved one.
