The next McGill Cares webcast, Drs. José Morais, Serge Gauthier, Abraham Fuks and Ronald Caplan will join Claire Webster to discuss the latest edition of The Care of the Older Person. Thanks to extraordinary advances in technology and medicine, humans are living longer than ever before, and are shifting the demographic makeup on a worldwide scale. As a result, more of us are living and engaging with an aging population in both our personal and professional lives, and there is... a heightened demand for concrete research and advice for how to best provide care for this growing demographic. The Care of the Older Person brings together some of today’s most experienced professionals to provide concrete answers to care providers of all kinds, from the administrators and health care professionals who operate and staff health care facilities and housing for seniors, to the spouses, friends and children who care for them informally. Most importantly, this book is also for seniors who want to feel empowered at this stage of their life. Join in at noon, or watch the recording afterwards.
