Caregiver Conference - In Spanish

The City of Los Angeles Department of Aging and the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation are working together to host a Free Caregiver Conference at Our Lady of Angels Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, April 26, 2008. The Spanish language event targets caregivers, people who provide care for their older adult relative, spouse, or grandparent who has custody of a minor child and will link them to supportive services offered through the City's network of Multipurpose Senior Centers.

This will encourage Spanish Speaking caregivers within the City of Los Angeles to access supportive services that will help their loved ones age independently with dignity and respect, in the comfort of their own homes. This is important because many family caregivers that care for their parents (padres) are caregivers, but they do not identify themselves as caregivers since they feel it is a cultural duty to take care of their parents. The benefit to these families is that they can access services for the caregiver as well as programs to keep their loved ones (padres) active, independent, and pursuing a healthy lifestyle.

Please take a moment to review the flyer for the Aprendamos Juntos (Learning Together) Caregiver Conference on Saturday, April 26, 2008; RSVP by calling (323) 313-1683.
