Conference for Direct Care Workers

Conference for Direct Care Workers Caring for Older Adults

This full day conference provides opportunities for individuals who provide direct, hands-on care to older adults to participate in workshops, develop new skills, and share their experiences with others in the field. Attendees will learn about ways to improve client care and end the day with a renewed sense of pride in the critical work that they do. In recognition and appreciation for the unique and invaluable contributions made by direct care workers to the quality of life for older adults, there is no charge for the conference.

Ready for Life Awards

Aging is a process - it's a part of life, and it's filled with both challenges and blessings. No matter what age, there are things that individuals can do to enrich their lives and make sure they are ready for whatever comes their way - "ready for life". Direct care workers are in key positions to help older adults manage the challenges they face and remain "ready for life".

With acknowledgement and respect for this critical role, Care for Elders is proud to initiate the "Ready for Life Award". Three outstanding front line workers will receive this award at the upcoming conference and be recognized for the contributions they have made to helping their clients be "ready for life".

The date for the 2009 Conference for Direct Care Workers will be announced in Fall 2008.
