What do direct care staff need to know to support older people’s health and well-being?
Read how a workshop developed at the School of Nursing is reaching caregivers statewide, in the January 2026 issue of CARE Connections, the monthly newsletter of the Center for Aging Research and Education. Here’s an excerpt:
“We learned how you might begin to get to know someone because, if you understood what had been important to them in their life earlier, you may be able to help them more,” says Schimmel.
This month’s CARE Connections also includes a profile of CARE Affiliate Kristen Pecanac, PhD, RN; free Green Bay CARE U workshops for direct care staff and health educators; and news and events related to older adult health and well-being.
