Aging in Place February 20

On Feb 20, about 20 of us gathered in the Tye Room to partake in an interesting presentation by Theresa Chaklos, a retired family law professional who volunteers with Massachusetts AARP Speakers Bureau.  The title of her presentation was “Prepare To Care”. 

It was thought-provoking, interesting and informative. She also cleverly presented the subject from both the Caregivers and the Care-receiver points of view.

Besides the talk,  each participant received a packet with additional information and reference materials. Two of the most useful pieces were a planning Guide for caregivers and a Financial workbook for care receivers and their family. It was an eye opener to read through the lists of needs/topics that one might need to consider.

Finally, Theresa sent us a list of other subjects that members of the AARP Speakers Bureau speak on, so we will be inviting them back.

I think that we can all agree that we continue to discover topics of interest to discuss each month all the while getting to know each other better and benefitting from same. 

See you in March, please reserve the 3rd Thursday afternoon of each month to join our group. All are welcome!
