Public Authority by Sourcewise invites you to join us for Call and Connect sessions, exclusively available to IHSS consumers. Beginning in February 2016, Public Authority Services will partner with the Senior Center Without Walls (an ESC Senior Resources Program) to offer no-cost training and information sessions. You are welcome to participate –via telephone– from the comfort of your home!
The free, informative training sessions are available using a conference call format. When you register for a Call and Connect session, you will be provided a toll-free number to call and join the session. Each session is one hour in length, and allows participants to interact and ask questions, or simply listen to the valuable information provided.
The sessions will be held from 11:00am to 12:00pm on the 2nd Thursday each month. The scheduled topics for Call and Connect sessions will include:
February: New Overtime Rules: Overview of Changes, Overtime, and Frequently Asked Questions
March: Creating a Back-up Plan for Your Care
April: Tips for Hiring and Retaining a Care Provider
May: New Overtime Rules: Managing Hours and Avoiding Violations for Your Provider
These sessions are a great way to connect with others and learn valuable information about in-home supportive services.
There will be a limit of 50 consumers on each call. To register for the Call and Connect sessions, please call: (408) 557-4719.
