Caring for Aging Parents:
Two Fall Events

Event 1: Caring for Aging Parents Workshop

As our parents grow older, many of them require additional help that may range from financial and legal considerations to healthcare and end-of-life concerns. The issues are complex and oftentimes confusing, and may be even more challenging when considering them from a biblical perspective.

To help navigate some of these issues, Parkside's Caring for Aging Parents ministry will be hosting a free workshop on Saturday, October 20, led by Dr. Richard Martin, a Robert Wood Johnson Future of Nursing Scholar at Case Western Reserve University, and founder of The Center for Eldercare Finance. Dr. Martin has also taught courses at Case Western Reserve University in health care finance, the legal and ethical issues of the health care delivery system, and instruction regarding life and care of older adults. 

Workshop topics will cover:

  • Continuum of care for older adults
  • Cost of care and payment options: Medicare/Veterans Administrations/Private Insurance/Medicaid
  • Financial planning for eldercare: budgeting and use of assets
  • Family dynamics with adult children
  • Legal considerations
  • End of life issues

If you, or someone you know, could benefit from attending, sign up today.
