When Is It Time to Make the Move? Families Invited to Caregiver Conversation in Collegedale

Chattanooga, Tenn. — March 20, 2026 — As more families find themselves navigating the challenges of caring for aging loved ones, questions about when to seek additional support and what resources are available often arise. To help provide guidance and practical insight, the Morning Pointe Foundation will host a Caregiver Café titled “Caring in the Cove” on Thursday, March 26, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Morning Pointe of Collegedale at Greenbriar Cove. The free event is open to caregivers, adult children, and community members seeking clarity and practical next steps.

Rather than focusing on a single topic, the evening will feature a four-person panel of local professionals who regularly support families navigating aging-related decisions. Attendees will hear expert insight and have the opportunity to ask questions during an open discussion period. Light snacks and vendor booths will also be available.

Panelists include:

Paula Larkin, CADDCT

Certified Alzheimer’s Disease/Dementia Practitioner and Trainer.

Lacy Graydon, BSW

Community Liaison with Adoration Hospice.

Chuck Alsobrook

Hamilton County Veterans Service Officer and Office Manager. Guidance on Veterans Pension with Aid & Attendance benefits.

H. Ben Davis III, CSA

Broker Manager with Select Pointe, LLC. Medicare insurance

“This Caregiver Café is about helping families feel heard and better prepared,” said Sarabeth Wilkins, Executive Director at Morning Pointe of Greenbriar Cove. “We want attendees to leave with trusted resources, new connections, and greater confidence in the decisions ahead.”

The event is part of the Morning Pointe Foundation’s ongoing mission to provide caregiver education while also supporting scholarships for students pursuing careers in nursing, culinary arts, social work, and therapy through partnerships with local schools.

The Caregiver Café is free and open to the public. Families are encouraged to attend, ask questions, and connect with local professionals in a welcoming environment designed to support and empower caregivers.
