FREE CE Webinar “Ethical Interventions with Older Adults: Balancing Safety and Autonomy” (ethics)

Join Jennifer Ghorley, JD and Megan Jennings, LMSW as they discuss “Ethical Interventions with Older Adults: Balancing Safety and Autonomy.”

Healthcare professionals working with older adults will encounter challenges related to self-neglect, hoarding, non-compliance, help-rejecting behaviors, and denial. You will have clients who are living in unsafe conditions, who lack adequate care, and who resist making necessary changes. This educational seminar will cover the ethical interventions social workers, nurses, and case managers can employ. Presented by both a Hurley Elder Care Law attorney and LMSW, we will explore the healthcare worker’s role when working with older adult clients and will discuss: mandated reporting; self-neglect as a legal issue; assessing hoarding behaviors; understanding dementia and competency; and guardianship options.
