Home Instead® is driven by our mission to enhance the lives of aging adults and their families. We know that professionals in aging share the same objective and that’s why we offer podcasts and a free monthly webinar series in partnership with the American Society on Aging. We cover a variety of topics including medication management, end-of-life, technology, mental health, financial exploitation, and other important issues in aging. Your dedication and passion for learning is why we host this educational series.

Working together, increasing our knowledge, and understanding the various perspectives of these issues will help each of us in our mission to better serve older adults and families who care for them. Our team of Home Instead gerontologists, along with guest speakers, will share their expertise to educate and empower us all to be great advocates for our aging clients. Together we can change the face of aging. The webinar series is free of charge and includes CEUs.

Our Latest Podcast:

Ethical Decision Making for Working with Older Adults

As professionals in the aging services sector, it is important to recognize the ethical issues that could arise when working with older adults. There are multiple areas in which ethical issues can emerge, including complex family dynamics, addressing end-of-life wishes, preserving dignity and respect, promoting independence, and keeping the individual safe. Various factors can make older adults vulnerable to abuse, neglect and ill intent. However, there are ethical principles that can guide us, and by better understanding these ethical issues, we can help to reduce the risk of harm, advocate for the older adult, and report issues to the proper authorities when necessary.

Listen to this podcast to learn more about the ethical considerations of working with older adults and the resources available to help support professionals and family caregivers.
