We will discuss options for living from aging in place to retirement communities, how family, social and financial resources influence our decision making, and how to gauge the timing for accessing supports and or moving, with Karen Wasserman
Karen has worked with older adults and their families for the past 30 years. Her career path has paralleled the path that many older adults take, from the community to the hospital, to rehab and then back into the community with support and services. She has worked at an Area Agency on Aging, as Director of Social Services at a local nursing and rehabilitation center, and at the Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center.
Her expertise and insight into the complicated medical, emotional and logistical concerns around aging, and her steadfast advocacy for her clients are respected throughout the profession. Karen started Your Elder Experts, the Care Management program at JF&CS, in 1999 and has managed its growth into one of Greater Boston’s leading Care Management practices.
She also leads educational programs and information sessions in the community about services for older adults, housing and care management and other related topics. She is a Certified Care Manager (C-ASWCM) and is a member of NASW and both the national and New England chapters of ALCA (Aging Life Care Association).
