Featured Organization of the Week: Aging Life Care Association
Our inaugural Organization of the Week is an awesome organization headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. The Aging Life Care Association — where our guest Anne Sansevero serves as a board member — focuses on providing education, support, networking, and mentoring to healthcare professionals involved in geriatric care management.
Originally founded in 1985 as the National Association of Private Geriatric Care Managers, today the ALCA leads the aging life care professional community through education and professional development. Their vision is “a world where adults and their families live well as they face the challenges of aging.”
The ALCA has nine regional chapters — Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, New England, New Jersey, New York, South Central, Southeast, and Western — that allow for opportunities to meet with regional colleagues in order to share and learn from one another through communication, education, networking, new member support, peer supervision, and professional development.
Through conferences, webinars, teleconferences, podcasts, social media and individualized mentoring, the ALCA ensures that professionals have the tools they need to be successful. They also offer consumer resources to help educate the community on elder care resources and refer consumers to aging life care professionals in their area. If you are interested in developing a career in geriatric care management, this helpful organization is a one-stop shop.
