Event Details
As individuals age, their living needs and healthcare requirements often change. This presentation offers a comprehensive overview of senior living options—from independent living and assisted living to memory care and skilled nursing facilities—within the framework of the continuum of care. Attendees will gain insight into how each level of care supports older adults’ evolving physical, emotional, and medical needs. We will also explore the factors families and seniors should consider when choosing a care setting, including average costs, services, staffing, and lifestyle preferences. Ideal for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and those planning for their own or a loved one’s future, this presentation empowers informed decision-making with compassion and clarity.
