Finances of Caregiving to be offered in Primghar this Fall, Registration Now Open

Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach invites family caregivers to participate in the five-session Finances of Caregiving course beginning Sept. 5. The course focuses on helping caregivers to make decisions and plan ahead. Caregivers are often adult children caring for their parents, grandparents or another relative, but they may also be parents caring for their young or adult child with special health or behavior needs. Life expectancy for Americans continues to increase which means that most adults will care for a parent or relative at some point in their life, according to Jan Monahan, human sciences specialist in family finance with ISU Extension and Outreach, who will be leading the program.
