Discover Free Elder Care Resources, Workshops
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 11, 2019) — Caring for an elderly loved one can be a difficult, stressful and time-consuming experience. That’s why University of Kentucky Work-Life established UK Elder Care as a free employee benefit that supports regular full-time and part-time UK faculty, staff, retirees and their spouses who are caring for older family members anywhere in the country.
UK Elder Care provides information, consultation, guidance and referrals to help make the elder care experience run smoothly. Several upcoming on-campus events provide the opportunity to engage with UK Elder Care.
