Why CEUs Matter

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are essential for maintaining licensure and certifications for professionals in the healthcare and social services fields. They provide opportunities to stay updated with the latest industry trends, best practices, and regulatory changes. 

For social workers, case managers, and healthcare professionals working with senior citizens, CEUs cover crucial topics such as:

  • Geriatric Care Management: Learn the latest approaches to managing the complex needs of elderly clients, including medication management, care coordination, and holistic care plans.
  • Chronic Disease Management: Stay informed about the best practices for managing chronic diseases common in the elderly population, such as diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis.
  • Mental Health and Aging: Understand the unique mental health challenges faced by senior citizens and explore effective interventions and support mechanisms.
  • Elder Abuse and Neglect: Gain insights into identifying, preventing, and addressing elder abuse and neglect to ensure the safety and well-being of your clients.
  • End-of-Life Care: Enhance your skills in providing compassionate and effective end-of-life care, including pain management, palliative care, and support for families.
  • Ethical and Legal Issues in Geriatric Care: Stay updated on the ethical and legal considerations that impact your practice, ensuring compliance and protecting your clients’ rights.
  • Advances in Medical Treatments for Older Adults: Keep abreast of the latest medical treatments and innovations that can improve the quality of life for your elderly clients.
  • Dementia Care and Support: Deepen your knowledge of dementia care, including early detection, treatment options, and strategies for supporting clients and their families.
