On Tuesday, August 27, a ribbon cutting was held to celebrate the grand opening of 4 Ozark Seniors, a Stone County nonprofit that works to connect senior citizens with the resources they may need but not know are available or how to find. The ceremony was coordinated by Table Rock Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, with members of the Rotary Club of Table Rock Lake, Hollister Area Chamber of Commerce, and several partnering nonprofits and other friends on hand to help celebrate.
The grand opening also celebrated Local Insurance Advisors, which helps senior citizens sort through the Medicare-related insurance market to find the plan and options that are best for them. Speaking at the ceremony, Karen Corey of Local Insurance Advisors said there are many ingredients in people’s lives that can impact their interaction with the Medicare market. While working to help clients find the right plans, Corey said that LIA became aware of the need to connect people with resources, to address multiple other life factors for a safe, secure and healthy retirement.
4 Ozark Seniors board member Debbie Dance Uhrig, who works with neighboring nonprofit OACAC, shared about the wonderful spirit of coordination and partnerships happening in the community between 4 Ozark Seniors, Local Insurance Advisors, and other area organizations.
As an example of such partnerships, on Thursday, August 29, several groups coordinated to present “Kinship Care” for grandparents raising grandchildren. Presenters highlighted ways to approach several challenging areas in such relationships, including discipline, social media, mental health/stress, financial resources including medical care and Medicaid, and legal matters.
