The goal of the Nord Networking Program is to stimulate the exchange of information and mutual support among individuals and families who are affected by the same rare disorder. This program can serve as a link to others with the same medical diagnosis. In addition, the program encourages the formation of mutual self-help support groups concerned about a single rare disorder. A free delivery program coordinated as a community service by the Novato Independence Elders Project in collaboration with the Novato Safeway and the Novato Human Needs Center offers home-delivered groceries for Novato seniors who need shopping assistance. Caring Hands in Contra Costa County is a volunteer caregiver program through John Muir Medical Center that serves frail seniors and other people with disabilities in Contra Costa County.
All services are free, but donations are accepted.
Topics of discussion include placement issues, durable power of attorney, living trusts, estate planning, long term care insurance, Alzheimer's disease, strokes and Parkinson's disease. The next class is scheduled to begin on April 4 at the Albany Adult School. All rights reserved.
