Aging In Place, Is It Really An Option?

"How can my parents age in place and get the services they need?" "I'm afraid the money is going to run out, then what?" "They need more help and I promised I would never "send them" to a nursing home!" These are questions I get every week from stressed family members trying to do the right thing for their loved ones. I understand. It can be scary. I'm here to say, you are not alone. There are thousands of West Michigan families grappling with these same questions. The good news is, there are options! There are answers! But, you need to educate yourself and do the homework. I invite you to take the first step. Join us for a Medicaid Options workshop.  I have been asked to share my expertise with families in the Appledorn community in Holland. This event is free and open to the public.

Tuesday, October 16th from 7:00pm - 8:30pm The Village at Appledorn 630 Hastings Ave., Holland REGISTER HERE or call 616-361-8400 to reserve your seats Know someone else who might be interested? Feel free to share the FLYER
