Long Term and In-Home Care Experts to Converge on Philadelphia

By jana on Mar 23, 2008 in NAIPC

The National Aging in Place Council (NAIPC) is holding their Eastern Regional Meeting in Philadelphia on April 8th at the Hyatt Regency at Penn’s Landing.  NAIPC is an organization that focuses on helping older Americans remain in their homes “for as long as possible.”  They do this through creating “awareness of home and community-based services” and have “created a national forum for individuals from the aging, healthcare, financial services, legal, design and building sectors to work together to help meet the needs of our growing aging population.”

This year, their Eastern Regional Meeting has a packed Agenda with some interesting speakers ranging from Elder Abuse Prevention to Cutting Edge Assitive Technology to Understanding Medicaid and Medicare.  In their own words:

Our daylong event will showcase local and nationally-recognized experts who will discuss major trends impacting the elderly, innovative programs that are being developed to help cope with our country’s aging population, assistive technology that increases safety and independence in the home, issues dealing with Medicaid, and other important topics.

Their keynote speaker is Steve Roop, President of the Beacon Hill Village in Boston.  For those of you who remember, in a previous post I referred to them as one of the country’s premier adult day care centers.  He will be speaking on the Beacon Hill “model” and why these types of communities are springing up all over the country.

I have to admit that I am excited to learn more about what comes out of this conference…there should be some good information and networking there!
