Caregiving resources topic of presentations at Griffin Hospital in Derby
DERBY - Griffin Hospital’s Healthy U program and The Valley Senior Services Council will host free presentations and information on caregiving resources in the community at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the hospital, 130 Division St.
“Get to Know Your Resources” will feature a variety of presentations on caregiving from area resources, including Wesley Village UMH, Sunset Shores, Griffin Hospital Lifeline, Alzheimer’s Association, TEAM, Valley Transit District, and Agency on Aging.
The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A.
The talk is final part of a series that focuses on providing information, resources, and support to caregivers of seniors, especially those of “the sandwich generation,” who are caring for an elderly loved one while still managing work and care of their children.
However, the series will share information and resources that are beneficial to anyone caring for another person.
A light dinner sponsored by Valley Senior Services Council and their Valley United Way Special Needs Grant and Griffin Hospital Lifeline will be provided at 4:30 p.m.
Participants are invited to bring their loved one for whom they provide care.
Space is limited; registration is required.
Call 203-732-1511 or register online on the hospital events calendar at griffinhealth.org.
