Educate – Engage – Plan

Educate - Engage - Plan

By Amanda Barton, Managing Partner

Are you proactive or reactive when planning for life’s next chapters? When considering your options or a loved one’s, it is essential to know the benefits of advance planning before a crisis occurs.

Aging can bring challenges, but being proactive by doing your homework in advance can make this process much smoother. Taking a proactive approach and not waiting until a crisis occurs, reduces stress for you and those that you love.

To help educate people about their many options, Seniors Blue Book is hosting its 12th Annual Preparing for Aging Symposiums on January 23, 2025, from 8am-12pm at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church (625 111th Ave N., Naples, 34108) and February 19, 2025, 8am-12pm at Marion Hall by Saint Cecilia (5698 Sunrise Dr., Fort Myers 33919).

At our upcoming symposiums, aging seniors, their family and caregivers will enjoy a variety of educational panels from area experts and visit over 70 exhibitor tables with valuable information to share. Topics will include: medical, senior housing, retirement, finances, legal, health & wellness, in home care, medicare, hospice, and much more!

Learn how you can make the best decisions to ensure comfort, safety and opportunities for enriched lifestyles. For example, come discover if your legal and financial affairs are set in place as you age, and if not, learn the right steps that need to be done! Or maybe you’re at the point where you or a loved one may require outside assistance to help you age in your own home. Come explore the many options available in our area, and what makes each one different. And who knows, maybe you’ll discover that the best choice may be moving into one of the many beautiful senior housing communities in our area. No matter where you are in the aging process, our symposium is crafted specifically for you.

The goal of our annual symposiums is so that in one day our elders, their families and caregivers can get answers they need, discover the best options available, and be set to age well!

Please register early, space is limited. RSVP is required, call 239-776-7353.
