What we’re about
We’re the Alabama Senior and Elder Education Network (Alabama SEEN).
Supporting Seniors and Caregivers!
This is a place to connect and learn about the latest information together, for medical, financial, legal, community, and fun times, too.
We’ll meet over Zoom and in person to review and talk about resources together. The meetings will be fairly light because some of the materials can be dense! We can make a “wish list” of resources to look at together.
Potential Topics to Cover:
- Elder care planning
- Caregiver resources
- Safety and prevention of abuse
- Health and wellness strategies
- Local resources and support
- We’ll make the meetings as fun as possible!

CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services)
