Navigating Medicare can be confusing—but you don’t have to do it alone. Join NEST for an engaging conversation about the new Medicare GUIDE Program, a national initiative designed to make accessing care and support easier for older adults and their families. Last month, NEST hosted a presentation on the upcoming 2026 changes to Medicare and Social Security, and this session continues that important conversation by diving deeper into new program updates.
Ben Solomon, Owner of Right at Home In-Home Care and Assistance, will lead the discussion and share insights on how this program can help families coordinate care, access respite services, and better support loved ones living with memory changes.
This interactive session will explore what the GUIDE Program covers, who qualifies, and how local caregivers can make the most of its benefits.
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and a friend—this is a wonderful opportunity to learn, share experiences, and connect with others navigating similar journeys.
The group will be primarily a discussion-based group, guided by prompts from a chosen book, and will incorporate mindfulness and gentle somatic practices to support deeper reflection and connection. We’ll engage in open, reflective discussions on topics such as intergenerational relationships, transitioning into retirement, stepping into elderhood, and uncovering a renewed sense of purpose.

THIS GROUP IS CURRENTLY FULL. Rebecca Crichton, Executive Director of Northwest Center for Creative Aging, welcomes NEST members to the first Discussing the
Undiscussables group. This will be a closed group inviting members to create deeper connections with each other to explore the many
topics we find it hard to talk about with others. Rebecca will share information and techniques that can support and connect us as we
age.
In our first session we will choose the order in which we want to explore the ‘Big D’s’ that challenge us as we age: The list includes Dependency, Disability, Dementia, Depression, Death and Dying and others. The intention is to provide a safe place to listen and connect. The more we are open to hearing each other clearly, the deeper our sense of trust and connection. The group will be limited in size and meet monthly with encouragement to connect with each other between meetings.
