Robison Jewish Health Center at Cedar Sinai Park
Elder's Family Learning Initiative
To assist families coping with the long term care system, Cedar Sinai Park has developed
a program of education training classes. This eight hour series consisting of four
lesson plans is designed to help families struggling with placing aging relatives
in long-term care to understand the aging process and health issues, housing options,
insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, family dynamics, legal issues, and how to work with
staff in long term care facilities to facilitate optimum care. This innovative approach
of working directly with family members, at their own pace and comfort level, will
empower them to become partners with social service and medical staff in providing
the best care for their elders.
We are offering these course materials without charge to long term care facilities.
