SUMMARY:You deserve Care too!
DESCRIPTION:Feeling Overwhelmed by Caregiving?\nYou’re Not Alone.\nCaring for a loved one whether it’s a spouse\, a family member\, a close relative\, or a friend; can be incredibly challenging. If you’re considering seeking help or support or even worried about your own caregiving needs down the road\, know that you’re not alone.\nThe path of caregiving can often feel overwhelming\, exhausting\, and isolating\, with no clear guide on how to navigate it. It’s a demanding role that can leave you feeling disconnected\, misunderstood\, and without time for yourself.\nJoin us for support\, resources\, and guidance as we explore how to manage these challenges and prioritize your well-being while caring for those you love.\nSelf-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.

SUMMARY:Effective Strategies for Aging in Place - Shawville
DESCRIPTION:If you are a near senior or senior who is thinking about aging in place and would like to know more about what you may need to do to prepare for your later years\, this session is for you.\nThinking about the future and being prepared will help you to make the most of your later years and have more control over your decisions. Planning will give you the best chance to have a satisfying and positive experience as you age and will help you to age in place. \nThinking ahead to the life you want in 5\, 10\, 15\, or 20 years\, and taking steps now to prepare\, can help you maintain your health and independence. Having a plan to age in place can also prevent rushed decisions in the face of future crises.
