Camden County Hosting Conference on Caring for Aging Loved Ones

The Camden County Division of Senior & Disabled Services has seen a significant increase in demand for information related to caring for a loved one as more people have taken on the responsibility.

In this light, Camden County will host the Caring for Aging Loved Ones conference on Wednesday, Oct. 29, 5:30 p.m. at the Camden County Boathouse at Cooper River Park.

A team of experts will be on hand with answers on providing home and respite care, housing options, health insurance counseling and a broad spectrum of legal issues. Attendees can speak directly with experts from Senior and Disabled Citizen Services, Camden County Surrogate’s Court, Board of Social Services, Rowan University, Senior Citizens United Community Services (SCUCS) and an elder law attorney.

“This is one of the toughest challenges families will face, especially for Baby Boomers and the elderly parents who depend on them,” Camden County Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez said. “One of the key issues covered in the seminar includes the appropriate management of personal assets for both caregivers and aging parents as they progress through their 70’s 80’s and, increasingly, beyond.”
