Quad City families had all their questions answered about senior care today.

It was the third annual 'Family Care Givers' conference at the QC Convention Center.

73 different vendors talked to folks about the change in growing older, moving into care facilities, and how to approach the topic with a loved one.

Organizers say its important families know there are options out there and to speak up before it's too late.

"You really need to know info before it becomes a crisis. It's much easier to know what to do and how to respond if your family member needs care and you just don't know where to turn," says Peggy Dykes, Community Relations Director, GENERATIONS.
