Upcoming Meetings
Thursday: February14th - 11:45 am – 1 pm
Long Distance Caregiving
Presenter: Heather Imahoff, MSW
Similar to the adage "It takes a village to raise a child", providing care to an older person often requires a multi-layered, team approach. When the team coach or general manager lives at a distance, he or she needs to utilize a different set of strategies to ensure that his or her loved one is receiving high-quality care.
Learning to make the most of in-person visits, investigating, coordinating, and monitoring support services from a distance, and having a plan for an emergency can make long distance care giving a success for the person needing care and the care giver.
Heather has been a licensed Social Worker since 2007. She received a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work
from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her educational focus and professional experience has been centered around
health in the aging population. She has worked in community-based health for more than 10 years, working extensively
with interdisciplinary medical teams. In recent years, she has worked as an Aging Life Care Professional in Santa Fe, NM.
She believes that there isn't a cookie-cutter approach to aging and follows a person-centered approach, supporting individuals
as they work towards self-defined goals. She has a special interest in mental health and medical advocacy.
She is a Care Manager Certified and is an Advanced Professional member of the Aging Life Care Association.
Please park outside the Brookdale parking lot. It is reserved for residents and their families.
All welcome. Brown Bag Lunch. For questions please call Denys Cope 474-8383
