Harvard University offers multiple resources to help faculty and staff plan for and support an elder or other dependent adult. Harvard’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides advice and recommendations on any elder- or adult-care issue as well as referrals to resources nationwide.  The Senior Care Planning program, provided by Care@Work, helps faculty and staff navigate the ever-changing demands of caring for an aging family member or other dependent adults by connecting them with a professional senior care advisor, a licensed geriatric social worker who is an expert in adult and elder care. The program also provides referrals and access to vetted services around the country. 
 
Join Chandi Deitmer, LICSW from Care@Work and Sarah Reynard, Research and Life Services Supervisor from KGA on Wednesday, October 6, to learn more about these programs and how they work together to provide comprehensive senior care resources to help you navigate care for the adult dependents in your life.
