WHAT IS MANAGED CARE?

Michelle Peterson from Lakeland Care will help us understand Managed Care services. Lakeland Care is a local nonprofit organization that provides services by supporting eligible frail elders and individuals with physical and intellectual or developmental disabilities through the Wisconsin’s Family Care program.
The program is designed to help eligible elders and adults with disabilities live independently both at home and in their community. Lakeland Care staff can step in and offer and coordinate services by care teams and local providers. Managed Care focuses on reducing costs while keeping quality of care high.

DRIVING FOR OLDER ADULTS
Thursday, October 17 at 2 PM
Traci Edmondson from the Outagamie County Aging and Disability Resource Center
will speak on safe-driving strategies for older people. Maybe you already know that
driving at night or in rainy weather is a problem for you. Some older drivers also
have problems with certain routes or driving on busy highways.
Is it time to have “the talk” about giving up driving? We all age differently,\ and for this reason, there is no one recommended age to quit driving. Come listen to safe driving ideas and strategies that will help keep you driving safely.
Please call 920-734-7225 or email our Resource Advocate Jean George at resource.fvlhomes@gmail.com for further information.
