Learn to embrace change

It can be challenging to support loved ones as they navigate the changes that come with aging.

Adams Woodcrest Assisted Living will host Embracing Change, an event designed to provide families with valuable insights and practice advice for making informed decisions, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Jan. 23. Doctor Beth Kaskel will share the presentation, discussing common challenges families face and how assisted living can provide solutions.
