Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) July 5, 2007
Patricia Grace, Founder and President of Aging with Grace, is selected as a featured speaker for the National Conference of Teamster Women. More than 700 women from all aspects of the union are expected to attend the conference in September in Houston, Texas.
Aging with Grace is a Philadelphia based company that provides professional geriatric care management services across the country. Ms. Grace is a Certified Senior Advisor, National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers Member, Case Management Society of America Member, American Society on Aging Member, repeat guest on Retirement Living television, and an expert with 16 years of experience in the elder care industry.
Ms. Grace will present "Solutions for the working Elder-Caregiver" to discuss the impact of care giving on families and on businesses, the maze of elder care options, and practical solutions for those with aging relatives. Elder care giving is fast becoming one of the most important family issues in the workplace. The emotional and financial costs quickly mount as an estimated 21% of all US households provide care for an adult family member.
The vision of Aging with Grace is to create a win-win situation for workers who are caring for an elderly relative and the businesses who employ them. AWG is developing relationships with labor unions, benefits managers, and businesses to offer solutions to this growing problem. This is accomplished by offering education, professional assessment of needs, recommendations about the need for services or placement, guidance during implementation of recommendations, and referrals to needed resources.
AWG produces results for caregivers: minimizing stress and providing customized solutions; and businesses benefit by lowering employee healthcare costs, reducing absenteeism and boosting productivity.
