It’s hard to know everything about everything in life. And as someone helping an adult with maintaining their independence, you may not have the time or energy to research options for the help one or both of you need now or may need in the future.
As part of Older Americans Month: Flip the Script on Aging, on May 21st Kitsap County Aging and Long-Term Care is presenting, “Where to Turn: The Right Program for the Right Time.” In this free session, they’ll review local programs and services for family member/friend caregivers and individuals who are looking for options outside of traditional Medicaid programs.
In May, a variety of additional free information sessions, listed below, are also available for community members. Click HERE to view a flyer with details.

“Ready, Set, Go!” Campaign
As another wildfire season approaches, a dozen Western Washington counties and the Suquamish Tribe are joining first responder partners to highlight the importance of "Ready, Set, Go!" evacuation messages. Kitsap County residents can sign up for local emergency alerts, including “Ready, Set, Go!” notifications, at kcowa.us/alert. Additionally, check to make sure your smart phone is turned on to receive emergency notifications. Learn more about wildfires and other disaster risks at the Kitsap Department of Emergency Management website.
