LIFE Senior Services is excited to host the 2019 Senior Safety and Lifestyle Fair Tuesday, July 30 at the Exchange Center at Expo Square. For the past two years, the event has welcomed hundreds of exhibitors and presenters, plus thousands of seniors and family caregivers. This year promises to be even bigger and better than ever.
“We want Oklahoma seniors and family caregivers to feel safe, valued and appreciated. We are excited about partnering with Tulsa Police Department’s Senior Services Unit to put a spotlight on the organizations, programs and services that exist to help seniors stay active, involved and healthy. Our goal is to help seniors live their best life!” says Mike Fogle, LIFE Senior Services COO.
The event will feature more than 150 exhibitors offering information about active aging, caregiver support services, money management and investments, Medicare options and VA benefits, mental and behavioral health services, accessibility and rehabilitation services, durable medical equipment, travel clubs, housing, home health and so much more!

It also has articles helping families plan ahead, understand care options like adult day health and PACE, compare and evaluate housing options, and learn more about Medicare, VA Aid & Attendance and the ADvantage Medicaid Waiver program.
