It was moving and reassuring to hear how many of us are caring for a loved one across town, and wonderful to have people joining a family caregiver to support them on their caregiving journey. We are so grateful that we could connect with each other in this way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the conference began, attendees spent time visiting with our resource exhibitors and attending breakout sessions presented by local experts on topics like senior living, end of life, health and wellness, and more. We have to offer a HUGE thank you to Nancy Baum, Certified Yoga Instructor at CBD American Shaman, who offered her Self Love Chair Yoga session all three times! Nancy offers a chair yoga class FREE every other Sunday at 11am at the CBD American Shaman Shop located at 10069 W 87th St, Overland Park, KS 66212. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have to thank our Resource Exhibitors for supporting our event and sharing information with caregivers. They made our conference extraordinary and many of our attendees shared that having so much information was their favorite part of attending the event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bishop Spencer Place<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CarePatrol of KCMO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>qualOT of life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>T-Mobile Accessibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CBD American Shaman<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>KC Fashion Quartz LLC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Synergy HomeCare<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobile Medical<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family Solutions for Care <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better at Home Services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lifescape Elder Care Law &amp; Estate Planning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beth Cree, Realtor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stockton and Kandt, LLC Estate Planning &amp; Elder Law<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oak Street Health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heart Land Prairie Cemetery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jewish Family Services of KC<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pace KC Adult Wellness Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alzheimer&#8217;s Association &#8211; Heart of America Chapter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mid-Continent Public Library<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For lunch, catering was provided <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubyjeansjuicery.com\/\">Ruby Jean&#8217;s Juicery,<\/a> and it was a big hit as always!
