August 19 Aging Gracefully: Part 3 – Assisted Living and Nursing Home What’s the Difference?
September 16 -Paying For Long-Term Care
The likelihood of needing some form of long-term care as we grow older is very good. Long Term Care includes assistance in your home, Independent Living, Assisted Living, Nursing Home care and End of Life care. This session explores each setting and more importantly what each costs and various ways of offsetting that cost as you need more assistance
October 21 - End of Life Planning
There’s much to discuss and it is never too soon to start. Afterall, life is terminal from the moment we are born. In this session we are going to explore Advanced Medical Directives, Do Not Resuscitate Orders (DNR), POLST (Physicians Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment). What they are and what the differences are. We’ll look at when they are needed and where one can get them when that need arises. We are also going to talk about some other things: Hospice –what hospice provides (and what it does not). We’ll look at when can you get it (sooner than you think!). We’ll explore where hospice care can be given. Significantly, we will explore who pays for it. And finally, we’ll spend some time talking about funeral planning. Don’t be scared! Its going to be fun.
WILL NOT MEET IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER
