Many families only start looking for care during a crisis\, when decisions feel rushed and overwhelming. This worksh op helps shift that experience toward preparation and peace of mind. You&r squo\;ll learn why building trusted support early matters\, whether care m ay eventually be needed at home\, in a retirement residence\, or during a hospital stay.
\nSupport doesn&rsquo\;t have to mean full‑tim e care. It can be occasional help\, monthly check‑ins\, or simply k nowing who to call when the time comes. Early planning can make a meaningf ul difference for both seniors and their loved ones.
\nWe also explo re what quality care truly looks like&mdash\;consistent PSWs\, clear commu nication\, safety\, transparency\, and compassionate support. Families des erve to feel reassured that their loved one is treated with dignity and ne ver feels like &ldquo\;just a number.&rdquo\;
\nUltimately\, this se ssion is about prevention\, connection\, and confidence. You&rsquo\;ll lea ve feeling informed\, empowered\, and better prepared long before care bec omes urgent.
\nFacilitated by Vanessa Vargas of PSW to the Rescue
