A letter from COSE, Your Company’s Employee Relations
and Benefit Partner
COSE is happy to announce our partnership with Senior Care Authority, a local company serving seniors and their families. We understand

By working with Senior Care Authority, there is help available on many levels to ease your burden. Caregiving can be a complex and
daunting undertaking – we want to help you with that by making a connection with resources to address your needs.

consultation is always at no cost to you and will help give you an idea of what you can expect.
We appreciate you, the employees of our COSE members, and wish to help you stay happy, healthy, and practicing good stress management in your lives.
