Chattanooga, Tenn. — March 27, 2026 — A strong turnout and meaningful conversations marked the recent “Caring in the Cove” Caregiver Café, hosted by Morning Pointe of Greenbriar Cove Assisted Living at Founder’s Hall at The Commons and supported by the Morning Pointe Foundation.
Designed to help families navigate one of the most common and emotional questions in aging, when is it time to make the move, the free community event brought together caregivers, adult children, and local residents seeking guidance, clarity, and practical next steps.
Rather than focusing on a single topic, the evening featured a panel of area professionals who regularly support families through aging-related decisions. The discussion covered dementia care, hospice services, veterans benefits, and Medicare planning, followed by an open question-and-answer session that allowed attendees to engage directly with the experts.
Panelists included:
- Paula Larkin, Certified Alzheimer’s Disease/Dementia Practitioner and Trainer
- Lacy Graydon, Community Liaison with Adoration Hospice
- Chuck Alsobrook, Hamilton County Veterans Service Officer
- H. Ben Davis III, Broker Manager with Select Pointe, LLC
“It was encouraging to see so many caregivers and families come together, ask thoughtful questions, and support one another,” said Sarabeth Wilkins, Executive Director at Morning Pointe of Greenbriar Cove. “These conversations matter, and we’re grateful to help create a space where people can find both answers and encouragement.”
In addition to the panel, community partners hosted booth-style tables, giving attendees the opportunity to connect one-on-one and explore local resources available to support them on their caregiving journey.
Caregiver Café is an educational seminar series proudly sponsored by the Morning Pointe Foundation and offered at no cost to participants. The series is designed to connect senior living experts with seniors, caregivers, and families, providing helpful information and addressing common challenges that come with aging and caregiving.
Events like “Caring in the Cove” are part of the Foundation’s broader mission to support caregivers through education while also investing in the future of senior care through scholarships in nursing, therapy, social work, and culinary fields.
