| ElderCare at Home's Webinars | | |
In a recent survey, ElderCare at Home asked clients and the families of our clients what services they would find valuable. When looking at the results, we found that one of the top services people wanted to receive is free webinars. With a little research and some great information, ElderCare at Home was able to make this happen. We now offer free bi-monthly webinar's which are related to Alzheimer's disease. What is a webinar, you ask? A webinar is basically a "Web Seminar". Using your computer or telephone, you can hear a presentation (like a conference call) and also see the presenter's PowerPoint slides (watching over an internet connection). With our webinars, you'll need to register ahead of time in order to reserve your space and obtain instructions on how to join the program. If you have any questions about ElderCare at Home's webinars or any suggestions on topics you'd like to see presented in the future, please contact us at 800-209-4342.
