We are grateful for the opportunity to speak to the membership of WIN Cleveland this past week. While the outside was icy and dreadfully cold, the members of this organization gave us a terrifically warm welcome. Our topic was "The Greying of Northeast Ohio – the Impact on Women in Business". Carolyn Lookabill, senior advisor at Caring Services LLC was the presenter.

Did you know that the average caregiver is a 49-year-old female? She's likely working and may still have children in the home from toddler age through college years. With the impact of the baby boomers and our changing demographics, more women will be called upon as caregivers either directly or indirectly. This has an impact not on their own personal lives but on the businesses that employ them.

 If you are a member of an organization that is looking for luncheon speakers, give us a call. We have multiple presentations that are available all without charge. Contact us at 440.850.3879. For More Information or to schedule a presentation for your group.

If you are a healthcare professional who works with individuals experiencing memory loss, this class is a must. Our CDP certification classes were so well received last year. We didn't even more classes this year. Your company or organization can connect with us to schedule a customized training just for your employees. We also have classes open to the community. While the majority of students are healthcare professionals, we've had representatives from businesses that are beginning to deal with the older population. This includes insurance agents, realtors, funeral home homes, clergy and volunteers.

Details below. We look forward to seeing you at the class on March 10 at the Slovene Home in Cleveland. They are terrific hosts to us and we appreciate the opportunity to bring a class to their beautiful location.

What a fun evening we had last night. Caring Services LLC was the cosponsor with Home instead of Northeast Ohio and the Ashton at Mayfield senior living of a special event. "Wreaths and Wine" brought together folks to create holiday wreaths for their own home, enjoy some wonderful appetizers and wine and even get CEUs. Melissa Schroeder and the team at The Ashton did an incredible job putting together the most delicious display of appetizers and treats. What a beautiful location for us too.
Everyone was so very impressed.

The team from Home Instead provided festive holiday treats and mocktails to enjoy.

Who knew that we had so many folks with an artistic flair? Thanks to all who attended.
