Topics that will be covered include:

Exploring Elder Care Options:  Learn what types of care are available, how to find them and which ones best suit your needs.

Hospice Is A Service, Not A Place:  Hospice is not just for the dying, it’s also a service that benefits the living!

Let’s Talk About Long Term Care Insurance:  Exactly what is long term care insurance and how does it work?

Understanding Advance Directives:  What you should know about the necessary legal documents that express end of life care.

A few days ago I wrote a book review on The Daughter Trap.  Out of all the statements in the book, this one stood out to me most: elder care is a “cultural phenomenon hidden in plain sight.”  Every day more and more people are finding they need to either help or care for an elderly family member.  Most of these people are not prepared to do so.

Elder care isn’t a popular topic.  The masses don’t flock to these workshops and they don’t want to talk about it unless they are already taking care of someone.  This presents a problem because when they get thrown into elder care, they panic.  Then they call people like me because they don’t know what to do.

Why not be proactive instead of reactive and register for this workshop today.  After all, it’s free.
