Transitions for Seniors begins June 17 at Senior Center
Hospice of Franklin County Offers New Support Group
The Gill-Montague Senior Center is offering a new group called “Transitions for Seniors: Caring and Caregiving” beginning Friday, June 17 at 1:00pm. Led by Winnie Ganshaw from Hospice of Franklin County, the group will address changes and challenges for seniors and their families when caregiving becomes prominent. Life planning topics include changes in health, mobility, family roles, finances, housing, and support systems. All are welcome, whether or not you are in a caregiving role.
The program is an exploratory session to determine interest in a support group series for seniors on the first and third Fridays, 1:00-2:00pm, from June 17 to Sept. 2.
The program is funded in part by a grant from Franklin County Home Care Corp. and the Massachusetts Office of Elder Affairs.
