SUMMARY:Thanks for Caregiving
DESCRIPTION:A caregiver is a person who has accepted responsibility for looking after a vulnerable neighbor or relative. A caregiver assists others in need\, putting the needs and wants of the one they are caring for ahead of their own. This unselfish act ensures the safety and well-being of those in their care. \nOn Wednesday\, November 19\, at 4 p.m.\, at The Beltrone Living Center\, Bright Horizons Adult Day Social Program will honor the caregivers of our fourty-five members. One of our guest speakers will be Renee Birnbaum a Certified Senior Advisor and co-owner of Choice Connections NY\, a senior housing advisory and placement agency. It was her personal journey coping and caring for her own parents who had both been diagnosed with dementia that inspired her to work in the field of geriatrics. \nRenee founded Senior Care Solutions of NY\, a long island based geriatric care management practice.  She spent many years working with families helping them make a plan and access services for their loved one. After moving to Saratoga Springs in 2012\, Renee took a position as Community Relations Director for Home Helpers and Direct Link\, a licensed homecare agency. \nIn 2016\, Renee joined Melonie Pratt as co-owner of Choice Connections NY.  Choice Connections a FREE senior housing practice serving the greater capital region and outlying counties. Choice Connections NY works with families and helps them transition to independent\, assisted living\, memory care or enhanced care communities when remaining home is no longer desired. Renee’s expertise in both case management and homecare allows her to work with families\, assess their needs and help them navigate the senior housing marketplace and access appropriate resources that are needed.  Ms. Birnbaum knows how emotionally overwhelming it is for families to accurately determine the needs of a loved one and to access the services that can maintain and nurture their quality of life. \nOther speakers will include Bright Horizons staff\, volunteers\, and members\, CSSC board members\, and our very special guests—our dedicated caregivers. We will have an open microphone available for anyone who would like to share their story. We hope you are able to join us for this special event. Refreshments and entertainment. If you have any questions\, please contact Sue Napierski at 518-459-7967.
