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 fifth session "Operating Instructions: The Legal Side of Senior Care." The legal concerns in Senior Care can often be as impactful as the clinical. They range from the basic documentation one should have to the Medicaid application process and asset protection. The basic documentation will be explained, what each piece does and does not do, and what happens when one doesn't have these documents, or they aren't properly filled-out. We'll also explore the planning that should be done before a crisis occurs, and how planning in advance helps.
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.
