Learn How to Evaluate Services for Senior Care and Housing

March Telephone Learning Session Offers Tips on what to Look For in Senior Care

The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving at Georgia Southwestern State University presents a Telephone Learning Series session, Finding Quality Care – Evaluating Services for your Loved One. The public is invited to take advantage of the FREE session, which will help listeners evaluate services for loved ones who need senior care and/or housing. The session will be held Thursday, March 20 at 2 p.m. ET.

The presenter for this session will be Robert A. Liebreich, CEO and Co-Founder of seniorDECISION, Inc. Rob also serves as a Director of Marketing and Sales for a top 50 senior housing provider. A graduate of Georgetown University with a double degree in Marketing and International Business, Rob obtained his MBA through Johns Hopkins University’s Senior Care and Housing Program.

Following the frustrating experience of helping his grandmother with her senior care decisions, Rob entered the senior living industry with the belief more could be done to help people find answers to the issues surrounding senior care and housing. He co-founded seniorDECISION in September 2007 with his wife, Jennifer, a former senior advocate.

Participants in the Telephone Learning session will obtain tools and resources to help them make informed choices regarding nursing homes, retirement communities, assisted living homes, Alzheimer’s facilities, or home health agencies.

Those registering for the session will receive a toll-free number and access code to use on March 20. After the presentation, listeners will be able to ask questions.

Registration is open until 12 noon on March 20. Registrants will be able to download handouts from the Rosalynn Carter Institute website. www.rosalynncarter.org/handouts/.
