Eldercare

Santa Clara University recognizes the challenge that faculty and staff face when providing care for an aging parent or loved one.  Depending on the special circumstance, there is often a bewildering array of options in meeting that challenge including care alternations, special health needs, and financial considerations.

The Mission to Wellness office has many resources to aid you in sorting out alternatives and meeting your individual requirements.  These include a compilation of care resources.
