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 fourth session "Sounds Serious: Skilled Care." There are times when we need more than just a helping hand, when the service of a licensed clinician is required to deliver the care needed. Sometimes this is to recuperate after a hospital or rehab stay, but it can also be for chronic (ongoing) needs. The services, whether they are Physical, Occupational or Speech therapy, or care requiring a nurse for wound care, are referred to as skilled care. Our panel will discuss when one would need this type of care, where one finds it, and who pays for it?
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.
