Chattanooga, Tenn. — February 12, 2026 — Caring for an aging loved one can feel overwhelming, especially when families begin asking the hard questions: When is it time to make a change? What resources are available? How do we prepare?
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.
