Houston Public Library is hosting the Houston Senior Living Series at various locations across Houston in 2025. These programs offer open discussions with expert panelists on topics important to the older adult community in Houston! Join us at Looscan Neighborhood Library in Februrary for the Truth About Downsizing, Rightsizing, and Simplifying. 

As we age, many of us prefer to stay in the comfort of our own homes, but understanding the realities of home care is essential to making informed decisions. Join us for an eye opening seminar on "The Truth About Home Care", designed to help seniors and their families and allies navigate the complex world of in-home support. Learn the different types of home care services, from personal care and companionship to skilled nursing and specialized medical care. Understand the costs involved and explore various payment options such as Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and out-of-pocket expenses. Get tips on how to find reputable home care agencies and evaluate caregivers, ensuring you receive the highest quality care. Discover how home care can help seniors maintain independence and quality of life while receiving the assistance they need. You may hear from caregiving experts and families or allies who have experienced the benefits and challenges of home care firsthand. Understand the pros and cons of aging in place versus moving to an assisted living or senior care community, so you can make the best decision for your personal circumstances. Whether you're considering home care for yourself or helping a loved one plan for the future, this seminar will provide the truthful, practical insights you need to make the right choices for maintaining comfort and dignity at home.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required if you plan on attending in-person. This event will also be livestreamed on the Houston Public Library's Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/houstonlibrary.
