Understanding Medicare
Learning about Medicare can be overwhelming. Deborah Bates, owner & educator at Bates Retirement Services, will discuss how and when to enroll in Medicare, what is/is not covered, and the pros and cons of Medicare Advantage Plans and Medicare Supplemental insurance.
Understanding Grief & Mourning
Grief and loss can be overwhelming experiences, but the more you know about what to expect, the less frightening it is. Please join Diane Walton from Hospice of the Valley as she explains the different types of grief and their effects, why expressing grief is so important, and discuss ways to help people who are grieving.
V.A. Improved Pension Workshop
The VA pension is available to eligible veterans or surviving spouses of veterans who require assistance with at least two activities of daily living (ADLs). Formerly known as the Aid & Attendance Benefits Program, this workshop is designed to help you understand the eligibility requirements and application process.
Understanding the MyFitnessPal App
Food and activity tracking can be helpful no matter where you are in your weight loss or healthy eating journey. Research has shown that people who keep daily food records lose twice as much weight as those
who do not track. Food tracking can also help reduce sodium and added sugars. Bring a laptop computer or tablet for a hands-on demo by the staff at the Sun Health Center for Health and Wellbeing.
Dementia Caregiver Support Group-In-Person
Sun Health’s Memory Care Navigator team invites you to join this Support Group that offers a welcoming and understanding community where you can find comfort, guidance, and a renewed sense of strength.
Caring Connections
Caring Connections is a monthly support group for couples to attend together—where one partner is living with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Early-Stage Dementia. The focus is on staying connected, sharing joys and challenges, and receiving support to navigate the journey as a team. Each session includes social time, brain-healthy snacks, activities, and both emotional and practical support.
Registration is not required.
Love the Skin You’re In!
