Event Details

Cornerstones of Care

The Institute on Aging invites you to join us for a unique educational series that explores four cornerstones of professional eldercare. This quarterly series will address end-of-life care, caregiving, clinical care and issues of capacity. These programs are designed to give professionals the multidisciplinary understanding essential for navigating the complex system of services available to older adults.

“Capacity: What Is It? How Do We Assess It? What Happens When We Lose It?”
Wednesday, September 16, 2009 -- 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM

This program will provide an overview of decision-making capacity in older adults. Focusing on financial, medical, cultural, legal and ethical topics, presenters from a wide range of disciplines will examine the difficulties that surround the issue of capacity. Presentations will include: How to help your client and their family plan for incapacity, advance directives, capacity screening tools, working with victims with diminished capacity, diversity, updates on legislation/laws, autonomy vs. safety, financial abuse, scams and fraud; protecting yourself and your client.
