Caring for Aging Parents
Older bodies send different signals. Learn to read them.
You are the person who notices. You call on Sundays, you drive to appointments, you are the one who thinks something seems off. That instinct is worth training. In older adults, a serious emergency often shows up as confusion, a fall, or a lost appetite instead of the textbook symptom — no fever with a deadly infection, no chest pain with a heart attack. These courses teach you the patterns that get missed, and the exact words that get an older adult taken seriously in an emergency room.
Who it's for: Adult children, spouses, and anyone caring for someone over 65.
