Information for ageing parents
A new safeguards resource, the Ageing Parents/Caregivers Planning Pamphlet, is now available.
The pamphlet is an initiative of the Surrey-Delta Community Council and supported by the CLBC Provincial Advisory Committee. The intent of the pamphlet is to inform ageing family members, individuals with developmental disabilities who are ageing, service providers and CLBC staff of the importance of, and need to plan as caregivers and individuals age.
Over the next year, CLBC will be working with staff and Community Councils to hold community sessions, including meeting with Health Service Providers and Emergency Responders to encourage them to use and distribute the pamphlet when they come in contact with ageing individuals and their family members.
The Ageing Parents/Caregivers Planning Pamphlet has been distributed to all CLBC offices around BC. To find your nearest office, please visit www.communitylivingbc.ca and go to Your Community > Local CLBC Offices. The pamphlet is also available on the CLBC website under Policies & Publications > Publications > Safeguards Publications.
If you have any questions, or would like further information, please contact Jule Hopkins, CLBC Manager of Service Accountability and Safeguards, at Jule.D.Hopkins@gov.bc.ca.
