The SCV Senior Center and Santa Clarita Valley Committee on Aging will host their annual Caregiver Resource Day Saturday at the Dr. Dianne G. Van Hook University Center at College of the Canyons.

“We are aware that as the Baby Boomers age they are becoming known as the ‘sandwich generation’,” said Maria Strmsek, Director of Volunteer Services at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.

“They are forced to care for their parent while also parenting their own child. During these times is difficult to remember to care for themselves. This day is to offer support, information and also remind them that they need to care for themselves so that they can continue to care for others.”

The event will feature a panel discussion titled “Options for Care” along with two other caregiver focused presentations.caregiverresourceday2013
