McGill Cares: Using Technology and Tools to Support Independent Living for Older Adults

Wednesday, December 22, 2021 12:00to12:45

Join us on December 22, 2021 at noon for the next McGill Cares webcast to support informal caregivers. During candid, 30-minute interviews with leading experts, Claire Webster explores topics related to caring for a loved one with dementia.      

Using Technology and Tools to Support Independent Living for Older Adults 

Ron Beleno is an advocate for dementia, caregiving, aging, and research communities. While caring for his father who was living with dementia, Mr. Beleno developed an expertise in the use of technology, community and access to research to support his family to live as well as possible at home.   

He is currently an active member, advisor, and mentor to numerous organizations and educational institutions, including AGE-WELL NCE, Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation at Baycrest, the City of Toronto’s Seniors Strategy, The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and the Translational Research Program at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Medicine.  

Mr. Beleno will speak about how technologies can be used to help seniors age well at home. 

This episode of McGill Cares is made possible by a donation from the Zeller Family Foundation.
