For Professionals
Eldercare Workforce Training

High numbers of health care professionals treat older adults, but surprisingly few receive specialized training. 75% of social workers report working with older adults, yet just 5% have completed specialized geriatric education. Reports are similar for doctors, nurses, physical therapists, or  psychologists. Learn more.

Borrow My Glasses provides training for professionals.
