Care Partners of Cook County and Cook County Higher Education invite you to a Lunch & Learn series designed to support aging well in our community. Presented the fourth Wednesday of the month from noon to 1pm at Cook County Higher Ed, the series will feature speakers from area organizations including the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging, The Hub/Cook County Senior Center, the Alzheimer’s Association of Northern MN, and more. Topics will include senior health and fitness, how to create an aging-friendly home, estate planning, and cultural perspectives on growing older.
We know that elder abuse happens everywhere – even in Cook County. What is less clear is when and how to report suspected abuse, and what happens next. Martina Johnson from Cook County Public Health & Human Services and Sheriff Pat Eliasen will help us learn what elder abuse is, the scope of the issue in Cook County, the process for reporting, how our local authorities respond when a report is received, and what Adult Protective Services hopes to achieve.
