How to keep your elderly parents safe and in their home longer | Roger Wong | TEDxStanleyPark
By the age of 85, there is a one in three chance that seniors will live in a care facility. What can we do to keep our elderly parents safe and in their home longer? To stay or not to stay at home, that is the question. This personal and emotional talk from TEDxStanleyPark will inspire you to take brave actions to keep your parents safe and at home longer, and prevent premature placement into a care facility. Dr. Roger Wong - drwong.geri@ubc.ca - is a world-renowned advocate and educator for advancing senior care and well-being. He is a geriatrics doctor, clinical professor, Executive Associate Dean, and the 13th President of Canadian Geriatrics Society. As an international keynote speaker, Dr. Wong has been invited to speak in London, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Vancouver, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Seoul, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Paris, Melbourne, Beijing, Taipei, and Hong Kong. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
