Seniors and Family Caregivers: What are the options?

Senior care has sure changed a lot in the last year.  Join us in this webinar where we will discuss care planning and how COVID has changed our perceptions and decisions regarding not just our own health but also the healthcare choices we make on behalf of our loved ones.  We will be discussing:

1. the options that are available for families to safely fulfill their senior loved one’s care needs, including home care and seniors housing from the public health authority and private pay sources; 
2. Care planning from a holistic approach, tying in elements of advance care planning, care budgeting and family caregiver support; and 
3. Trends and changes arising from the past year, and lessons that can be applied in making better informed decisions going forward.
