Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County will hold a Senior Summit from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29 at The Mill Church of the Nazarene, 1399 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville. The topic of this year’s Summit, “Caring for Aging Loved Ones,” will provide both caregivers and seniors information about the resources available to help their loved one age in place.
In addition to Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County, several senior service partner agencies will be on hand to share information about their services and answer questions. The event will feature Keynote Speaker Jane Malkoff MSN RN NP, Founder of Clarity Care Advocates, LLC, and Clarity Care Givers, LLC, who will discuss caregiver support. This will be followed by a panel of experts as well as a question-and-answer session.
Tickets for the event are $10 and are available on the Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County website at ShepherdsCenterOfHamiltonCounty.org/events. Each ticket includes a boxed lunch. The event is open to all central Indiana seniors and senior caregivers.
Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County is a 501(c)(3) organization that advocates for the welfare of seniors age 55 and over residing in Hamilton County. The organization facilitates five signature programs: Together Today, Reaching Resources, Counseling, Guardianship, and Community Caring. The goals of these programs include mitigating isolation in the senior community, providing mental health counseling to seniors, helping seniors obtain resources they need to age safely in their home, providing a legal guardian when family is not an option, and pairing them with community service organizations or volunteers to obtain light home modifications, home repair, and transportation so they are able to live safely and independently in their home. All services are free of charge.
