Workshop Descriptions
Understanding the Home Care System
The home care and community support system can be confusing and difficult to navigate. If you want to stay in your home, there are many resources, supports and options available – but where to start? Our Understanding the Home Care System workshop goes over how the system works, what’s available, and how it can help you and/or a family member live well at home longer.
Advanced Care Planning
Advance Care Planning can help prepare for a time when you may not be able to make health or personal care decisions for yourself and when someone else, your Substitute Decision Maker, would make decisions for you.
In this workshop, we follow a family’s journey through health care situations to learn about:
- What is Advance Care Planning
- Who is your Substitute Decision Maker and how do they make decisions
- Exploring values and wishes
- Health Care consent
