Silver Solutions 2014 A Powerful Resource For Living Long & Aging Strong

On Saturday, May 3, the 2014 Silver Solutions senior resource fair brought together more than 50 local organizations, businesses and medical experts to share with the community information about living long and aging strong.

Hundreds of people took advantage of the "Ask the Experts" informational sessions, visited vendor tables for information on caregiving, residential options, community support, health care, planning ahead, life enrichment and prevention of abuse and exploitation.

Home care demonstrations took place throughout the event, and senior-friendly pets were available for adoption.

It was a great event, and we are grateful to all our sponsors who helped make it possible: AACOG – Alamo Service ConnectionUT Health Science Center Barshop Institute for Aging & Longevity StudiesK.T. Whitehead – Certified Elder Law AttorneyUT MedicineA Plus Family CareResCare Home Care and The Village at Incarnate Word.
