ADVISORY – Department of Aging to Announce New Resource to Support Pennsylvania’s Unpaid Caregivers
Pennsylvania Department of Aging Secretary Jason Kavulich will join state and local leaders to launch the PA Carekit – a new resource that will help caregivers in the Commonwealth to address their unique situations, so they can continue caring for Pennsylvania’s older adults.
The event will feature a presentation on the PA Carekit, and a panel discussion moderated by Secretary Kavulich on the state of caregiving and how this new resource could provide needed support to the 1.5 million unpaid caregivers who provide care for friends, neighbors and loved ones.
The development of the PA Carekit is the result of Aging Our Way, PA – the 10-year strategic plan that will help transform service delivery to ensure all Pennsylvanians can live healthy, fulfilling lives as they age.
