Upcoming Events
July 16, 10:00 AM. Triad Virtual Presentation by Diane Turner, the Safe at Home program coordinator at AgeBetter, Inc. Home Assessments can be complicated by the participant’s family and friend relationships, along with participant fears of being forced to move from their home or losing control of their living situation. Assessments can help build consensus among the participant and family members or friends as to whether adaptations to the home or a move to a more supportive and safer environment is best. Diane will present examples and suggestions on how to make the assessment more beneficial and helpful for the participant and their loved ones. The Zoom link will be available the week before this presentation.
