Home Is Where the Heart Is and Where to Turn When Home is No Longer an Option
Channel: Benevilla

The popular Benevilla “Education Event Series” continued Wednesday, September 29th at 1:30PM with a free, online workshop titled “Home is Where the Heart Is and Where to Turn When Home is No Longer an Option.”  It featured local expert presenters,  Vicki Castleman and Julie Huebner from Home Instead Senior Care and Rita McBride from A Better Solution Senior Placement.


When living alone at home is no longer an option, due to dementia or physical challenges, finding support for your loved one can seem an impossible task.  What are the in-home care services available to older adults to maintain a purposeful life no matter where they call home?  What living options are available if home is no longer an option?  What services do senior placement agencies offer.  How much does it cost?  Is a group home the right fit?  What is the difference between Assisted and Independent Living Facilities?  These are just a few of the questions faced when living at home independently is no longer possible.


This free presentation is part of the yearlong Benevilla C.A.R.E.S. Virtual “Educational Workshop” series featuring carefully selected professionals who can answer your questions and provide guidance, practical solutions, and resources you may need to prepare for senior life changes, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.  


To reduce the risk of public exposure during the COVID-19 pandemic, Benevilla has chosen to convert all their popular education workshops into live stream, online Zoom events.  Benevilla will continue, for the near future, using the online Zoom format for their workshops.  Upcoming workshops cover a broad range of important topics from in-home care management and hospice to estate preparation and tax savings tips.
