As she retires, Terri Weber reminds caregivers to make sure they take care of themselves

As they say, all good things must come to an end. I want to let you know that I will be retiring from UK as of Oct. 3. It has been my privilege and honor to work with you, the UK caregivers, throughout the last 14 years. Now it’s time for me to turn to a new chapter. But UK Elder Care will continue.  I will assist in the transition, continuing to provide individual consultations on a limited basis and co-facilitating Care Group with Ann Bassoni, UK Mental Health Therapist, until a new hire is confirmed.

It’s familiar and comfortable; a place where we feel we have control over our daily lives and the freedom to do what we want. But continuing to live independently at home can become risky for many of our older loved ones, even though most likely they will downplay or hide any issues they are having.
