Will Help Inform Caregivers in Our Community
NUTLEY – The Township of Nutley’s Board of Commissioners recently announced that they plan to co-sponsor a senior adult health workshop, “How to Care for Your Aging Parents”, planned for Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. at the Nutley Adult Social Activity Center, 65 Bloomfield Ave., Nutley. The program, targeted to baby-boomers and all others who are caring for elderly adults, is intended to educate caregivers on the number of support services and resources that are available on both a local and county level.
This event will kick off with a brief panel discussion to include Elder Law Attorney Jeffrey R. Bascelli, CELA, Michelle Carter from the Alzheimer’s Association and Dr. James Morgan, Family Practice Physician who will represent Mountainside Hospital – a co-sponsor of the event. “This event will showcase all the beneficial programs that our Township has to offer to our seniors. This collaborative effort will focus on some really unique programs that help so many of our seniors in our community today,” commented Mayor Joanne Cocchiola.
Following the brief discussion, guests will be free to visit different resource tables from organizations such as NJ Shares, Food Stamps, the Nutley Family Service Bureau, the local Red Cross Chapter, Medicaid, Adult Day Cares and more. Representatives will be on-hand to answer questions and explain their programs. Additionally, each of the Township Departments will also showcase all the programs available to the seniors in the community, such as Shovel Out Seniors – or S.O.S., adult transportation and a senior tax freeze. Light refreshments will be served.
