A Resource Guide for Seniors and their Families
HOW TO USE OUR RESOURCE GUIDES
Whether you are anticipating the future or coping with a crisis now, InnovAGING’s Senior Resource Guides can help you discover the help you need to take responsibility for challenges you might encounter as a senior, or as someone who is caring for an older person.
Our guides are a way for families to discover topics about which they can create meaningful dialogue. Getting older is a process in which every living person is engaged–it is a family and community matter–between spouses, partners, siblings, and the generations.
We currently have guides for the Spokane, Tri-Cities, and Yakima areas in Washington State.
Each of our guides has five information-filled chapters so you can find the resource you need.
CHAPTER 1 | TAKING CHARGE
Information for planning ahead, managing your financial, legal, and final planning and safety and security needs for the future.
CHAPTER 2 | ADDRESSING HOUSING OPTIONS
Descriptions of housing alternatives, guidelines for choosing housing, and a comprehensive list of choices that span the housing continuum for seniors.
CHAPTER 3 | FINDING HELP
Details health care and support services and programs including hospitals, medical resources, food and nutrition, outreach, support groups, transportation and more.
CHAPTER 4 | EXPLORING HEALTH ISSUES
Health index of illnesses and ailments combined with a listing of organizations and resources to offer assistance.
CHAPTER 5 | LIVING FULLY
