Phil and Martha found that maintaining their home was becoming stressful— especially with Martha's decreased mobility and increasing health problems. They visited Sage Center and reviewed housing options and met one-on-one with an eldercare counselor who served as both a listener and advisor. The counselor discovered Phil was struggling with all of Martha's care. A plan of care was developed with support services that helped them stay at home.

According to Phil “the counseling at Sage Center is a treasured lifeline for anyone dealing with life changes.”

Gail’s household and job suffered when she had to step up the care for her father. As his needs became more demanding, she became overwhelmed. Gail went to Sage Center and met with a Caregiver Counselor. She learned quickly that she didn’t need to face all her difficulties alone. Support groups, workshops and resources reduced Gail’s stress. She now can appreciate the time she spends with her dad.
