Meetings
Senior Care Web site launched

After two years of collaborative effort, WNY SeniorCare.org has been launched, offering guidance, information and a senior care assessment tool for families experiencing caregiving challenges. Many families may take this holiday season as an opportunity to talk about planning for the future and caring for an elderly loved one. WNYSeniorCare.org can offer a framework for these conversations. WNY SeniorCare.org was funded by a grant from the John R. Oishei Foundation and was developed by members and senior care professionals of the Western New York Foundation for the Aging. Over a period of two years the Web site and its senior care assessment tool was tested, reviewed and refined by families, senior care professionals and geriatricians throughout Western New York.
