Vulnerable Members: 

Talking to Someone with Hearing Loss

- 10 AM PT / 11 AM MT / 12 PM CT / 1 PM ET

One in seven individuals have hearing loss—and the World Health Organization expects the number of people with hearing loss to double by 2050. In this session, led by Lizzy Cozin, we will revisit a presentation given recently to Capitol Hill Village that provides effective tips for interacting with people living with hearing loss. Serving older adults in an inclusive way requires a heightened effort and understanding of hearing loss—and villages are the natural place to be leaders in this effort, so join us for this important discussion.



All Village to Village Network Members are invited to join us on a monthly call to talk about the important topic of supporting our most frail members. As the society ages, it is inevitable that our membership will age as well, so whether your Village is currently serving frail members or preparing to serve them, we will use this monthly call to unpack this complicated programming consideration.


Topics open to discussion include, but are not limited to: developing a volunteer-based care coordination system, creating healthy boundaries for member service delivery, setting realistic expectations for members and their families, coordinating with local community resources, when to make a referral to Adult Protective Services, etc. Please come with your questions and we will try to address as much as we can in the hour we have. Note: If you have any questions or comments about Frail Members, please contact vtv@vtvnetwork.org.
