Virtual Workshop: Senior Housing Options in the Age of COVID


DATE: Thursday, November 19, 2020
TIME: 7:00 – 8:30 pm 


This workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of choices. We will discuss the pros and cons of independent living; assisted living; nursing homes; living with your loved one; and hiring private care – including the issues of social isolation and protection from COVID-19. Individual questions will be encouraged and addressed, as appropriate, including possible resources for further assistance.

About Our Facilitator:
Our speaker is Lucille H. Deutsch, CALA, CMC. Lucy is a certified geriatric care manager with LHD Eldercare Solutions and a member of the Steering Committee of the Caregivers Coalition of Morris County. She has been a caregiver to two generations of her own family and is passionate about advocating for the highest quality of life for the aging population and those who care for them.
