National Family Caregiving Month

Savvy Seniors: November 2016

October 27, 2016 | madame librarian

November is National Family Caregivers Month and many of us may be caring for family and/or friends with a wide spectrum of special needs or helping older family members.   Canton Public Library is hosting an Open House on Saturday, November 5 from 1:00PM-4:00PM.  Please join Robin Porter, freelance writer and author, in the Friends Activity Room as she shares her experience as a caregiver and how she helped her parents deal with health problems in addition to the financial, legal, and emotional aspects of caregiving.  We will also offer tours of the library at 1:30PM, 2:30PM, and 3:30PM highlighting services and materials available to caregivers.

Please join us.  No registration required.

November is National Family Caregiving Month and a great time to think about how you can fit exercise into your busy schedule! Being active has many benefits for caregivers including increasing your energy level; maintaining and improving your physical strength and fitness; and managing and preventing chronic diseases and conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
