Frequently Asked Questions

Most of our expert panel discussions are about 60 minutes. Some run longer than others depending on the depth of the topic and the number of panelists. Any remaining time is used to address questions from attendees. Houston Senior Living Series begin promptly at 10:30 AM and finish by Noon.

Please feel free to contact Houston Senior Living Series concerning questions you may have about downsizing, senior living options, 55+ neighborhoods, or other related topics. If our staff is unable to answer your questions, we will direct you to one of our many subject matter experts who will be happy to assist you.

Presenters and speakers may have materials available for you to take home, but it’s up to you to pick them up if you want them.

We do request that if you have a specific question that is personal in nature (i.e. can’t be generalized to the group) that you request a consultation with one of our team members following the event.
