Expert Guidance for Families Navigating Senior Care Challenges
Jane Fischer & Associates is hosting a free educational seminar designed to support families and caregivers of aging loved ones. "The Heart of Caregiving: Navigating Senior Care & Dementia" will take place Thursday, October 16th from 3:30 to 5:00 PM in the Mason City Room of the Mason City Library.
This valuable session will be led by Sondra "Sam" Cradduck, a nationally recognized gerontologist with over 30 years of experience in senior care. The seminar focuses on practical strategies for those caring for seniors, with special emphasis on supporting individuals with dementia.
"Human Always" Approach to Senior Care
At the core of Cradduck's philosophy is the belief that all individuals, regardless of age or cognitive ability, remain "Human Always." This perspective guides her approach to dignified care practices that honor the personhood of each senior.
Attendees will learn how empathetic caregiving can positively transform the experience of both the caregiver and the person receiving care. The seminar will address real-world challenges that families face while providing actionable solutions.
What to Expect
Participants will receive:
- Practical tools for everyday caregiving situations
- Resources for additional support
