Role Reversal —
The Myths and Realities of Caring for the Elderly

Sandra W. Haymon, Ph.D. - Presenter

Don't wait until an emergency room physician tells you that your elderly loved one can no longer live alone. Information and preparation are key elements in avoiding accidents, planning appropriate care and ensuring your loved ones are safe and secure. This presentation addresses the physical, emotional, and practical issues of caring for elderly loved ones. Using her Red Flag Checklist, Dr. Haymon teaches caregivers how to determine their elderly loved ones' true level of functioning and the appropriate level of care needed. She also discusses the pros and cons of various care options. She offers solutions to common problems associated with caregiving-from the perspective of the caregiver as well as the elderly person being cared for.
