Wednesday, October 21, 2020 from 10 AM - 3:30 PM ET *** Increasingly, older adults with complex health issues live alone in the community, far from their relatives and caregivers.

Emergency planners for nursing homes, assisted living facilities, senior community centers, senior housing, adult day care centers, home meal delivery services, charitable organizations, and other who provide services to senior citizens.
