On Tuesday, August 18, 2020, CarePartners featured the Senior Resource Guide on their "Hot Topic" live segment! Our very own Karyn Dean, publisher of the Senior Resource Guide and president of SRG Services, Inc., shared the story of how the Guide was born and how we've grown.
If you weren't able to tune in, here are six highlights from the live topic segment:
- The Senior Resource Guide started when Karyn transitioned into the caregiver role for her grandmother and couldn't find a comprehensive resource to answer all of her questions about aging in place. It occurred to her that other caregivers were in a similar situation, so she accumulated her research and created the Senior Resource Guide.
- Currently the Senior Resource Guide has editions for the greater Houston (Southeast, Southwest and North), Austin and San Antonio areas. You can search for which locations carry printed copies of the Guide here or view the digital editions here.
- The Senior Resource Guide is a comprehensive resource covering everything from daily care assistance and treatment and prevention to senior housing and legal and financial. Open up a copy and you'll find informative articles, tips, resource listings and more.
- The Senior Resource Guide maintains two popular event calendars—one for eldercare professionals (covering Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and East Texas) and one for the general public. If you have an upcoming event that you'd like included on the calendar(s), submit it here.
- One item that every caregiver needs in their toolkit is patience. For more caregiver resources, visit here.
For the sixth highlight, watch the "Hot Topic" segment! Let's just say you'll get a sneak peek on The Essential Caregiver Toolkit coming this November.
