Hebrew Health Care in West Hartford and Goodwin College in East Hartford have announced a new collaboration to offer Aging Care Academy courses during the next several months. Open to the general public, the workshops in Aging Care Academy teach caregivers of individuals with all types of age-related health issues the skills and resources to give better care.

“Hebrew Health Care recognizes that more can be done to support everyone facing the challenges of aging in our society,” says Pamela Atwood, director of Dementia Care Services at Hebrew Health Care. “Supported by Farmington Bank Community Foundation and with the guidance of an advisory council chaired by a caregiver, Aging Care Academy seeks to provide whatever information family care partners need. We cover everything from depression to identity theft to home safety.”
