The Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities will be offering free "The Future is Now! Are You Ready?” workshops on Wednesdays from Sept. 14 to May 9, 2012 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Pascal Senior Activity Center and Arnold Senior Activity Center.
"These programs have been well received by the public in the past, because the population is aging and people are seeking information to prepare themselves or their loved ones for the future," says Mary Chaput, director of the National Family Caregiver Support Program at the department. "Many attendees are caregivers of their parents or another loved one, and they want questions answered in advance of a family crisis."
Sessions offered at the Pascal Senior Activity Center, located at 115 Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie, include the following:
