What are the advantages of getting care in your home? When does it make sense to move into a supportive community? Making the right choice when you need assistance as an older adult can be scary (cheesy Halloween reference) … Join two industry professionals to get your questions answered: Gena Braman, Client Care Manager with Home Care Assistance and Les Hakey, Marketing Director at the Converse Home Assisted Living. Registration is appreciated. To register, call 802-425-6345 or email register@charlotteseniorcentervt.org.

Wednesday, October 28, 2:30–4:00 p.m., Death Café
We gather on the fourth Wednesday of each month to come together in fellowship, celebrating life through open conversations about death and dying. Join us for open, heart-to-heart conversations about death and dying. While these discussions can be difficult, these supportive discussions help build community and celebrate life through shared stories and questions. Questions?
