Blount County Events, Empowering Health Options

Did you know 1 in 5 Americans are providing care to a senior member in their family? The AARP estimates the value of in-home caregiving to be $470 Billion in the U.S. But, having mom or dad move in with you comes with its own set of blessings and challenges. In this episode of Around the House, we discuss caregiver stress and ways to help seniors remain in the home as long as possible.

Also, East Tennessee really shows out during the fall season. Blount County has several fall festivals lined up for you, including the Great Smoky Mountains Hot Air Balloon Festival.  Blount Chamber spokesperson Jeff Muir gives a preview of all the family fun.
