Elder care workshops planned for next month
Improving care for the elderly is the focus of two free workshops to take place at White Rock Library, 1-2:30 p.m. Oct. 3 and and 7-8:30 p.m. Oct. 5.
Representing NICE (National Initiative for the Care of the Elderly), Rosalyn Hansen will share practical tips for how citizens can respond safely and respectfully if they are concerned about an older adult; information about elder abuse; how to overcome the hesitation to help; and how to access local community resources.
To register for either workshop, call 778-386-1649 or email morhans@shaw.ca
The library is located at 15342 Buena Vista Ave.
