On Tuesday, July 14 from 5:30-6:30pm, Longmont Senior Services is offering a free online Caregiver 101 seminar led by Licensed Personal Counselor Brandy Queen. If you are new to caring for an older adult in your life or foresee that you might be in the future, this program will help you learn about local resources and supports you may need on your caregiving journey.

“We tend to think of caregiving as total care–things like bathing, dressing, feeding, transporting–but actually, most of us will spend some part of our lives caregiving in some capacity. Caregiving includes a wide range of supportive activities for another person and can involve things like regular grocery shopping or organizing affairs from another state, or it can look more like total care,” says Brandy Queen, LPC.

Whether you are caring for a parent, spouse, child, sibling, neighbor, or friend, you are welcome to attend. It doesn’t matter if the care recipient lives with you, near you, or in another state. If you are providing unpaid care or support for someone you love and/or take responsibility for as their functioning declines, you are a caregiver. In this program we will discuss resources for legal and financial planning, education, support groups, and honoring care recipient’s right to self-determination. All adults welcome to join this free class regardless of age, but registration is required.
