The presentation for November 26th entitled More Planning for the Journey Ahead will be given by Bree Henry of CenterWell Home Health, Kevin Orth of Butherus, Maser & Love, and Jen Wolf-Wubbels of Southlake Village Rehabilitation & Care Center. Bree will discuss what home health is , how to qualify for it and how it is paid for. Kevin will share what information is required and why when a loved one passes and the value to the family of knowing what their loved one‘s preferences were. Jen will help you learn what skilled nursing is, how you qualify, how it is paid for and what to look for when choosing a skilled nursing facility for someone you love.

There will be time for discussion and for you to ask questions after the presentation. The presentation and the folder of resources we share will provide invaluable information, not only for family caregivers but also for family members, pastors/church members, friends and neighbors as well as professional care providers.

You may also visit the Nebraska Caregiver Coalition page and the Nebraska Lifespan Respite Network page on Facebook for even more information.

There will be a webinar sponsored by the Nebraska Caregiver Coalition via Zoom on January 8th. This will be an excellent presentation so mark it on your calendar. I will send more information as it becomes available.

If you would like a copy of the Caregiver Organizer please let me know and I can bring it to the meeting. Because of a generous donation I am able to provide a free copy to active caregivers. There is a suggested donation of $12 which will print another copy. If you write a check to make a donation make it payable to the Lincoln Community Foundation with Caregiver Organizer in the memo line. The Foundation is our repository for funds. All donations go directly into the account. I am a volunteer and receive no compensation or reimbursement.
