Working adults in the “autumn” of their careers find that they are juggling work and aging family dilemmas – causing loss of pay or employer dissatisfaction with their performance or absence. Baby Boomers facing retirement also face the realities of still having to care for parents or other older relatives – this “care” duty can detour their dreams of the envisioned “retirement”.
Linda Fodrini-Johnson, MA, MFT, CMC, will talk about major issues facing families locally or at a distance. She will give members a list of resources to help them navigate the maze of resources available in order to find help that will respect the dignity of the elder and bring peace to the adult child. Linda will also talk about the realities of living longer lives and statistics that will affect all of us as we age.
Linda Fodrini-Johnson is a Licensed Family Therapist and a certified Geriatric Care Manager. She founded Eldercare Services, in 1989 – the first full service Geriatric Care Management and Caregiving Company in the East Bay. She has been guiding and coaching families in the Bay Area for 25 years. Linda is the Immediate Past President of the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers.
