Mission statement
The Nebraska Savvy Seniors Empowerment Series is a free educational program passionately committed to enriching the lives of seniors. Our mission is to provide expert information that equips and empowers seniors, enabling them to make informed decisions to navigate life’s challenges and transitions with peace of mind and a renewed sense of purpose.
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Envision a future where the world moves at an accelerated pace, leaving you struggling to keep up as you age. Amidst the effort to stay well-informed, the constant bombardment of sales pitches, telemarketing calls, advertisements, and upsells can be overwhelming. The quest for reliable unbiased knowledge, untainted by data mining tactics or an onslaught of unwanted emails, seems like an insurmountable challenge.
BUT WHAT IF THERE IS A SOLUTION?
Every month, numerous seniors within our community gather for the Nebraska Savvy Senior Empowerment Seminar Series. Our Free Seminars held monthly are educational seminars, comprising insightful information, is hosted and moderated by Alicia Chrastil and TJ Chrastil, Seniors Real Estate Experts at Nebraska Realty. Offering this series for free, we pledge to provide seniors and their guest with honest, unfiltered insights into various aspects of senior living.

These events, tailored for seniors, come at no cost, as individuals make pivotal life choices and take strides toward an enriched life before, during, and after retirement. Our aim is to stand by them, offering guidance, fostering independence, and ensuring peace of mind.

Her son, who was only given four months to live due to being born with multiple medical conditions, survived for four years because of the fantastic in-home care he received. Nina witnessed firsthand how important access to an in-home care provider was.
Years later, Nina worked as a care provider for her grandmother. She then managed a company that provided personalized in-home care services before developing her own specialized company, known today as StayHome.Care.
