On September 23, SGI-USA members in San Francisco,
California, met for a forum on "Caring for Our Elders" at
the SGI-USA San Francisco Culture Center. This was the
seventh of a series on elderly care that began in January,
sponsored by SGI-USA women in San Francisco.
At the September 23 forum, six panelists from a variety of
disciplines involved in elder health care professions
provided insight into the various resources available to
those caring for elders. The panelists spoke about diet and
nutrition, hospice care and advance directives,
communicating with the elderly, communicating with health
care professionals, health care options and resources for
the elderly, and taking care of the caregivers themselves.
Following presentations, the panelists participated in small
group discussions with the audience.
