Our very own, Paula Mogley, Care Manager, presented at Creek Valley Retirement Community in Ellisville, a part of Resort Lifestyle Communities, last week. The topic was "What - Now I'm a Caregiver?" Transitioning to life as a caregiver isn't easy, particularly when the role is thrust upon us during?a health?crisis.?When we realize that our role as a loving spouse or sibling has been replaced by the role of?caregiver?- it's not unusual to feel a sense of sadness and being overwhelmed.?Fortunately, there is help when the landscape of life changes and you find you need extra care support at home. Paula is seen here, offering some valuable solutions to keep seniors and their loved ones living independently, healthy?and worry-free in their golden years.?She shared an important statistic, revealing that more than 60% of family caregivers (over the age of 65) can experience symptoms of caregiver burnout.?And caregiver burnout can lead to health risks for the person trying to provide care for their loved one.?Paula provided resources to assist with the reduction of caregiver stress and to encourage the audience to focus on the creation of meaningful moments with their loved ones. Thank you, Paula!!

At our last St. Louis Care Alliance meeting, Stacy Haberstroh MA, GCM explained an important change in Medicare part D, starting in 2025.
