Aging Life Care Professionals® - The Experts in Aging Well
We are so grateful to Positive Aging Sourcebook for continuing to be a champion for older adults by connecting them with the people and services they need to age well. For those of you who have not worked with an Aging Life Care Professional before, you are in for a treat! You will be hard pressed to find a group of health and human services professionals with more education, experience or knowledge in the field of aging than the members of The Aging Life Care Association. Though we have diverse backgrounds, we come together around adherence to a code of ethics and a commitment to the highest standards of practice in the field. As the President of the MidAtlantic Chapter, I am proud to serve this amazing group of expert care managers. 2020 was an especially challenging year for elders, and their families. As we navigate 2021 and the continued impact of SARS-CoV-2, elders need the kind of advocacy, guidance, connection with resources and expert care coordination that ALCA members are poised to provide more than ever. Visit us at midatlanticalca.org. We look forward to working with you.
