Aging is Living is SARCOA’s annual training event for professionals working in the field of aging as well as for caregivers and the general public.
The conference content changes each year, but always includes a mixture of new developments in the field, relevant issues concerning the health and social aspects of aging, and the implications of aging. Experts speak on a variety of issues and present information on programs, benefits, and services. Event attendees have opportunities to network with event sponsors and exhibitors throughout the day. While most of the day is spent on serious and practical issues, fun is always incorporated.
Professionals as well as family caregivers are invited to attend. The seminar is also open to the general public. Approval for continuing education units (CEUs) for nurses, social workers and nursing home administrators will be sought for each event. General CEUs are available. Attendance space is available for sponsors and exhibitors.
As an area agency on aging, SARCOA works to bring together funding sources and service providers to deliver services that assist both senior citizens and individuals with disabilities, helping them maintain their dignity, independence and quality of life.
