Caregiver Tuesday and other news.

Vonn Saltzman, Medicare Assistance Counselor, and Jordan Grooms, Information and Assistance Specialist, will be at the Ringling Nutrition Site tomorrow, Tuesday May 12th. Bring your questions!

MarketWatch lists six resources for caregivers, one of which is your regional Area Agency on Aging. That would be ASCOG, for those in our service area.

AARP has an entire section of its website dedicated to caregivers and their needs, including legal and practical issues. AgingCare also has a section for caregiver support, including an article about the age-old question of 'How do I get paid for being a caregiver?' Unfortunately, the answer is 'generally speaking, you don't, though you can get compensated in various other ways.' If you're interested in accessing those compensations, please call the Senior Info-Line at 1 (800) 211-2116.
