Future Planning & Decision Making in Dementia Care
Advertisement
Planning ahead for future healthcare decisions is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our loved ones. While these conversations can feel difficult, making decisions early allows individuals to maintain their voice, values, and wishes before a medical crisis or significant cognitive decline occurs.
Join Lauren Ewing, seasoned Speech-Language Pathologist and Evergreen Certified Dementia Care Specialist, for a compassionate and educational workshop focused on future planning, advanced care decisions, and navigating difficult conversations with confidence and clarity.
This workshop will discuss:
• The importance of advanced directives and early future planning
• Maintaining personal choice and autonomy throughout the progression of dementia
• Understanding life-sustaining interventions such as CPR, feeding tubes, and assisted respiration
• Risks, benefits, and realities of medical interventions as we age
• The difference between prolonging life and prioritizing quality of life
• Education on hospice care, palliative care, and end-of-life support services
This workshop is appropriate not only for dementia caregivers and families, but for ANY adult interested in making thoughtful future healthcare decisions before a crisis occurs.
Planning ahead is a profound act of self-love and family love — helping reduce fear, uncertainty, and difficult decision-making during emotionally overwhelming times.
*Please note: This workshop is educational in nature and is not intended to provide legal advice. Lauren Ewing will be speaking from her professional experience as a clinician and dementia care specialist working alongside patients and families as they navigate advanced directives, healthcare decisions, and person-centered care planning.*
Cost: $30/person
