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 first session when Oasis Senior Advisors Paul and Susan Doyle will present "How to Get There from Here: Navigating Senior Care 101." They will provide an overview of the entire care continuum from in home through nursing home. Learn about best practices, available resources, costs of care, and how to pay for it. Topics covered range from how to stay safe at home with care, the people who can help, the devices and changes that can make it easier, to aging in a different place - Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Residential Care Home, and Nursing Home. They'll talk about the differences between all these places, and the ever important question of who pays for what.
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.
