Have I told you all lately how much I enjoy collaborating with like-minded professionals? Well, I had the pleasure today of presenting with my friend and collaborator, Ashley Gates Krause, with Senior One Source.

We had a nice turnout at the Lake Oswego Adult center as we talked about housing options, senior care, forming a care team, and caregiving. Ashley shows her former teacher skills, knowledge, and caring nature, and the attendees were engaged and attentive with good questions. I added my perspective as a former caregiver and an adviser with Cohen Caregiving Support.

Thanks again, Ashley!
