Loretto and the Onondaga County Department of Aging and Youth Host Loneliness, Helplessness & Boredom: Parts I and II - How Elder Care Partners Can Recognize and Change Them
02/23/2012
Loretto continues to collaborate with I Care to follow up the popular 2011 classes based on the Eden Alternative. Its core belief is that aging should be continuous stages of development and growth rather than a period of decline. Karen Carroll returns to present “Loneliness, Helplessness and Boredom: Parts I and II” to guide us in learning how to treat our elders as always living, always growing. As care partners, our lives will be enhanced by confronting these issues.
Date: Tuesday April 24 and Tuesday May 1
Time: 5:30 - 7 p.m.
Location: St. Michael’s Lutheran Church
5108 W. Genesee St., Camillus, NY
Description: Two consecutive weekly classes will briefly review and further explore last fall’s insightful topic, “Living Purposeful Lives at Home Through the Eden Alternative.” This philosophy centers on relationships and their growth. It teaches us to consider our elders much like a plant; guiding us to treat them as always living, always growing. Following “The Ten Principles” of the Eden Alternative, we will look at improving life for both our elders living at home and their care partners.
