 White Plains, NY - November is National Family Caregiver Month, and the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services in partnership with the Westchester Library System have scheduled caregiver-support programs from Nov. 7 to Nov. 29.
Six programs will take place at libraries throughout Westchester, and a caregiver counselor will be on hand at each one to answer questions. The events are also a chance for caregivers to pick up brochures on a wide variety of topics, such as respite services, ways to cope, how to involve the whole family and planning for the future.
In addition, there will be a talk on “Who is Taking Care of the Caregiver?” on Nov. 13 from 7 to 8 p.m. at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center, 701 N. Broadway, Sleepy Hollow. Printed material will also be available.
