Family Caregiving - Leaves and Legal Issues. When you need to need to 'drop everything' to take care of an older relative, can you?
More than 1.7 million adults aged 45-64 provided informal care to almost 2.3 million seniors with long-term disabilities or physical limitations. Current statistics also indicate that 80% of elder care is delivered through informal care arrangements and over 60% of adults with disabilities require the assistance of family members to accomplish daily living activities. As such, every professional who works with older adults needs to understand the basics of family caregiving leaves in Canada. This seminar will provide an overview of government family caregiving leave provisions, union or work arrangements, and more. It will consider the rights and responsibilities of both caregivers and employers when a family caregiving leave becomes necessary.
Learning Objectives:
- understanding the effects of an aging population on family caregiving
- awareness of the current legal framework governing family caregiving programs
- understanding of differences between palliative care leaves and other caregiving leaves

- This is NOT a timed quiz. Take all the time you need to consider the question and make your best selection.
- Be attentive to questions asking which statement is NOT correct, or if all statements are correct EXCEPT.
- If you have read the question carefully, your first impression of the correct answer is usually the right choice to make.
