Matthew Parcasio, Caregiver Programs and Outreach Coordinator at San Diego County Aging & Independence Services, will present an  overview of nearly 30 programs and services offered by his agency and other community providers. Matthew has an MA in Gerontology and extensive experience caring for older adults and adults living with disabilities through programs in adult day healthcare, assisted living memory care, and non-medical home care.

Most local governments provide services for their senior populations. Even if you don’t live in San Diego County, you can learn about similar programs offered in your own county. Let us know if you benefitted from any of these services in San Diego or wherever you live. With government budget cuts, we’d also like to know if these programs have been cut or eliminated.

Continuing with our exploration of dementia and end of life planning, we invite you to join us for a free screening and discussion of Still Alice. Julianne Moore stars as Dr. Alice Howland, a renowned linguistics professor at Columbia University. When words begin to escape her, Alice comes face-to-face with a devastating diagnosis: early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. As the once-vibrant woman struggles to hang on to her sense of self, Alice’s family must watch helplessly as she disappears more and more with each passing day.  Click here to watch the trailer
