Talking to Your Loved One About Home Care
Tuesday, May 26th, 2026 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm (EDT)
Having conversations about home care with an aging loved one is one of the most important — and most challenging — discussions a family can face. In this workshop, we provide compassionate, practical guidance to help you navigate this sensitive topic with understanding, confidence, and care. Learn how to recognize the signs that home care support is needed, how to approach the conversation thoughtfully, and how to address your loved one's fears and concerns with empathy. Because having the right conversation at the right time can change everything. Learn how taking the next steps to incorporate home care can support a well-lived life. From reducing risks such as falls and hospitalization to fostering companionship, meaningful activity, and emotional engagement, it addresses your loved one's whole-person well-being.
