Program Description
Event Details
The Sandwich Generation Seminar Series presented by Oasis Senior Advisors of Fairfield - Westchester is comprised of six monthly programs designed to provide valuable information for those on a caregiving journey. As more and more caregivers face the squeeze of raising kids and taking care of a senior loved one at the same time, cries of help come from what is being called the 'Sandwich Generation.'
Please join us for the second session "Staying Put: Care in the Home." Any Senior Care Plan begins with life at home. What are the adjustments (big and small) that can be made to make the home safer and more compatible with a goal to age in place? Who are the people who can be brought in to help with tasks and care? Our panel will cover safety and accessibility assessments of the home, what to look for and where to find people to help, and where to turn if you need someone to help manage clinical needs.
Open to adult children and seniors planning for their own care, this seminar series - part support group, part education series - is designed to put you in touch with local experts to help you prepare for, and endure your caregiving journey.
