Resource for Caregivers of Native American Elders
South Dakota Ag Connection - 11/17/2017
Native Americans have a rich culture that is important when addressing aging and caregiving. When working with Native American elders, Leacey E. Brown, SDSU Extension Gerontology Field Specialist encourages caregivers to review resources developed
by Native People for Native people.
Some of these resources can be found at the National Resource Center on Native American Aging.
"This group works to identify Native elder health and social issues and works to support community-based solutions," Brown explained.
Through the Resource Center, caregivers can access education, training and technical assistance. Their website also provides access a variety of resources, including a needs assessment tool, newsletters, exercise curriculum, and caregiver curriculum. Please visit
the National Resource Center on Native American Aging to learn more.
