Lexington Family Magazine is inviting older adults, their adult children and caregivers throughout the community to the first installment of the “Successful Aging Seminar Series,” a group of four free seminars offered quarterly.
The first seminar -- “Elder Care 101: What If Mom Can No Longer Live Independently?” -- will be led by Marie Smart of the University of Kentucky’s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging.
The seminar is Saturday, Nov. 1, 10 a.m.-noon at Southern Hills United Methodist Church on Harrodsburg Road.
This is the first of four seminars that will be conducted quarterly on Saturdays at the same time and place, on the following dates -- Feb. 7, May 9 and Sept. 12, 2009.
(Please see facing page for information on presenters and topics.)
The first seminar is followed the next afternoon, Sunday, Nov. 2, 1:30-5 p.m., by Lexington Family Magazine’s eighth annual Elder Care Facilities Tour, an award-winning event in Central Kentucky.
Participating elder care facilities in Central Kentucky will host free, open houses.
The open houses are designed to let older adults, their adult children and other caregivers educate themselves about elder care housing options in a relaxed, unpressured atmosphere.
Info: www.LexingtonFamily.com or 223-1765. |
