Amada Senior Care Of Greater Milwaukee Will Address Care Planning At 33rd Annual Wisconsin Parkinson Symposium

Amada Senior Care of Greater Milwaukee's DR Salerno will educate families of Parkinsons sufferers on caregiver funding options like long-term care insurance (LTCi) and VA benefits, and the fact that Amada offers specialized expertise in filing and managing claims and acting as the family's advocate.

Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) - Amada Senior Care of Greater Milwaukee will provide timely and vital information on Advance Care Planning at the 33rd Annual Parkinson Disease Symposium on Friday, July 26, 2019, at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee. Amada Senior Care of Greater Milwaukee is a regular sponsor of Symposium host Wisconsin Parkinson Association. As a guest on WTMJ-TV’s The Morning Blend, Mr. Salerno has discussed the benefits of caregiving services in supporting positive health outcomes for Parkinson patients.

“My first job is to educate, to inform and try to help families understand their senior care options,” Mr. Salerno says. “Part of it is matching one of our great caregivers with a client, but just as important is how to help the family pay for in-home caregiving. There are many funding sources—such as long-term care insurance (LTCi) and Veterans Administration benefits—for which we have special expertise in filing and managing claims.”

Beginning at 8 a.m., Symposium attendees can check in and visit with vendors like Amada Senior Care at the Resource Fair, where health and community agencies will display valuable information throughout the day. At 9 a.m., the first main session will be “Sleep Issues Associated with Parkinson Disease,” presented by Gary Leo, DO of Ascension Health Care.

The morning breakout sessions will follow Dr. Leo’s presentation, and attendees will choose from three options:

• Caregivers: “Using the Tools in Your Toolkit,” presented by DR Salerno, Amada Senior Care
• Disease Management: “Nutrition & Complementary Medications,” presented by Dacy Reimer, APMP-C, Lakeside Neurocare
• Activity: “Music Therapy,” presented by Lynnae Sis & Jackie Immekus, VMP Healthcare & Community Living

During lunch, the resource fair will again be open for participants. After lunch, the afternoon breakout sessions will include:

• Caregivers: “Reducing Caregiver Stress,” presented by Randall Hammett, DC, Hammett Clinic of Chiropractic
• Disease Management: “Speech & Swallowing,” presented by Katie Teijido, CCC-SLP, Aurora Medical Center Summit
