It’s a statistical fact, that when it comes to Senior Living and Aging Services that the New Year brings about the busiest time of the year. That’s because of what happens during the holidays! As we age, holidays tend to bring about clarity and often monumental change. Learn about navigating holiday conversations, feelings that come up this time of year, and the truth about advocating for yourself and those you love.
We often associate the month of November with gratitude and giving thanks for the many blessings in our lives. It’s also a time for family gatherings and festivities, making it perfect for reminiscing and sharing family traditions. So, what happens to these traditions after you’re gone? Who will carry them forward into future generations? How can we plan for family harmony? Larry Hatteberg lead a powerful discussion on enjoying life, community engagement & how to make a positive generational impact.
Estate planning is no longer as simple as having a last will and testament. Virtually every state has different laws on matters such as probate and inheritance, making who gets what a very complicated issue. This is especially true for blended families and those with otherwise ‘complicated’ relationships.
Even “perfect” families run into big issues and overwhelm when it comes to settling estates. Rifts can last a lifetime.
The topic of dementia isn’t fun or sexy, but it is on the minds of people everywhere. As human beings, we love the fact that we are in control of our lives, so the idea of developing dementia can be terrifying. It’s also very confusing. There are many types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s Disease, so the information can be difficult to digest.
This topic always attracts a completely full house and for good reason. It’s so confusing! The goal of this seminar is to help attendees understand the differences in what each type of benefit covers (or doesn’t).
The world is changing at a rapid pace and if you don’t keep up, you’ll be left behind. This means flexing the muscles of adaptability, resilience, and curiosity. Gone are the days when elder family members were the only sources of knowledge, history, and wisdom. The internet has taken over. As a result, those currently tasked with writing the narrative about getting older are young, mis-informed, and often simply winging it!
Are you thinking that it is time to “get your house in order” when it comes to preparing for successful aging and a simplified, less overwhelming lifestyle? Are you considering a downsizing move in the future? Or feel that being fully prepared “just in case” is prudent?
More and more people are choosing to downsize, “rightsize”, or otherwise simplify their lives. This decision can come after retirement by moving to retirement communities. The decision about which community is the best fit isn’t always easy to make.

Chances are if you are like most Americans, you have more stuff than you need, want, or know what to do with. This is especially true if you have lived in the same house for over 25 years. So, if you are planning a future move or simply want to simplify life a bit, what do you do with all the excess? What makes it so essential to tackle this overwhelming mature life task? How do you take action? What are all of the options?
