In 2018, Berks Encore held several conversations around the community in order to develop a better understanding of the concerns people have around aging and caring for aging loved ones. We heard concerns regarding how to navigate the aging market in our community, stress from with the emotional and financial strain of providing care, and fears of the highly unique situations that one can encounter while aging.
Berks Encore has used that research and developed two fee-for-service program prototypes that we would like to review with interested members of our community in these upcoming sessions. Our goal will be to gather feedback and opinions on the proposed programs from individuals and families who would benefit from the services.
Thank you for your dedication to Berks Encore, and we hope to see you in a session!
