Approval of Previous Minutes

The minutes of the August 6, 2026, meeting were submitted for approval. 

• Motion: Charlton

• Second: Sutphin
• The motion passed unanimously.

• Program- President Perry introduced Peter Hayes, CEO and founder of Senior Care Relations. Peter is a Licensed nursing home administrator.  Formed the company because so many families don’t understand options for senior care.  They provide a service to families seeking information and help with senior care.  During an initial meeting with the family, they detail requirements of the person needing care as far as health issues or services required. They help the family determine if the senior can utilize at-home care or do they need to join an assisted living facility. Senior Care provides a one stop help to understand the various possibilities available.  Which option provides the best fit as far as requirements and finances.  There is no charge for this service.  Peter highly recommends you plan ahead and not wait for a crisis situation.  Question and answer period followed afterward.
