SELF-DIRECTED
PATHWAYS FOR CARE: New Choices for
Elders and People with Disabilities
Recent trends, including demographic transitions
and changes in public policy, have resulted in increased demand for
community-based long-term services and supports to assist older adults and
persons with disabilities in their preferred home settings. Reflecting core
social work values, new directions in long-term care aim to promote choice and
maximize autonomy.
Come talk with social work
practitioners, students, faculty and community partners about new options in
long-term services and supports.
Together, we will explore:
- Person-Centered, Participant-Directed Care
- Perspectives of Service Users and Providers
- Ethics of Community-Based Care
Morning
munchies will be provided. Three (3)
CEUs (1 Ethics) will be available to participants.
