Unfortunately Distinctive Care of Ridgewood, NJ, here in Bergen County, had to cancel our last CEU presentation at Sunrise Senior Living of Cresskill on February 16 due to snow. The topic was Navigating the Elder Care Continuum which covers the importance of eldercare planning, including the legal and financial aspects in putting together a plan, housing options for seniors, medical management options, and the role a geriatric care manager can play in the planning process. We have now scheduled another CEU presentation at Sunrise of Cresskill on another topic for Tuesday, March 16. The Fears and Angst of Incontinence in the Elderly will cover the statistics of incontinence and cultural attitudes towards incontinence in the elderly. It reviews the barriers for treatment and the issues of psychological impact and quality of life. Current treatment options and nursing interventions are also covered. To attend this worthwhile course for nurses, Certified Assisted Living Administrators and Licensed Nursing Home Administrators, call Sunrise at (201) 871-0300.

The CEU will last from 5:30 to 7:30 with dinner being served at 5:00PM.
