Enter the meeting room a few minutes before the start time. No login required.

Students, staff, faculty and community members are welcome.

The goal of this session is to help individuals understand the differences between the various levels of care and identify which type of facility may be most appropriate for the very specific needs of our elders.

We will also address the recent evolution of this vitally important industry and discuss the possible future it may hold including: skilled nursing , assisted living, enhanced assisting facilities, adult Home, and personal care home.

What does it all mean?; where the industry has been and where it appears to be going; and how to identify the most appropriate type of facility for your loved one’s specific needs.
