Daviess County Public Library Hosts Free Pro-Active Aging Series

Timesavers Caregiving and Concierge was founded in 2010 with the mission of helping families care for aging loved ones. If you have ever experienced this as a caregiver, you know there is a lot to navigate.

Preparing legal documents, navigating the healthcare system, and most importantly ensuring your loved one experiences continued quality of life can feel like a juggling act. Whether you are starting to prepare or it is your current situation, the folks at Timesavers are hosting their Fall 2024 Pro-Active Aging Series of events at the Daviess County Public Library.
