FREE SEMINAR
A diagnosis of dementia or increasing memory challenges often brings a flood of emotions and tough decisions. One of the most pressing questions for individuals and their families is: How long can—or should—I remain at home?
Couples must decide whether to stay put or relocate, when to seek support, and how to involve others in their plans. Meanwhile, adult children or loved ones may find themselves helping navigate memory care and residential living options while trying to balance emotions and logistics.
In this seminar, we’ll have an open and candid conversation about:
• The pros and cons of relocating sooner rather than later.
• Best practices for simplifying the relocation process for those with memory impairment.
• Adult day services and respite care—the benefits of doing advanced research.
• Estate planning documents are often needed when supporting those with cognitive issues.
Whether you’re planning for yourself or assisting a loved one, this session will provide practical advice, compassionate insights, and the truth about simplifying these transitions for everyone involved.
