Presentation Information:

1. AARP ‘HomeFit’ Program - guidelines on age-friendly housing. We will hear how home modifications will enhance seniors’ safety and comfort in an age when current housing stock doesn’t suit our elders’ needs. Keeping clients at home is a ‘least restrictive alternative’ if it can be done safely and within cost parameters.

2. Erleen Whitney, PhD. will lead us in an important session about medical ethics as applied to our vulnerable clients. After learning some basic ‘pillars’ of ethics, we will break into discussion groups to review the elements of a sticky (true) case history.
