LivWell Seniors
UI Family Services partners with a local organization, LivWell Seniors, to help faculty and staff navigate the complex and often confusing world of elder caregiving.
Services
Senior Resource Specialists serve as personal and professional advocates, working closely with families to navigate a broad network of resources, including senior living communities, relocation and downsizing, real estate professionals, legal, and financial services. Employees can meet with a Senior Resource Specialist individually or with family members at no cost.
LivWell Seniors can provide an in-home assessment and develop a personalized care plan to address the immediate and long-term needs of your elderly family member(s).
Senior Resource Specialists are available to present to your organization or department on a variety of caregiving topics and concerns. You can contact LivWell Seniors at 319-250-1577 or info@livwellseniors.com.
Testimonial
"I attended the Caregivers webinar before Thanksgiving because I knew we needed to engage with more care support for my aging father. Then our support services abruptly ended when my father's housekeeper died unexpectedly. Suddenly I needed to rebuild the basic support network we had established in addition to thinking about services we needed to add. I was so thankful to have just attended the webinar where I learned about resources and people who could help. I sent an email, and the response was immediate. It is a relief to have support through this process. I appreciate that my employer cares about me and makes these services available to support me."
