The Power of Knowing

Transitions and Life Changes

Thursday, May 19 | 12 – 1:00 p.m.

Understanding comes from knowing. Aging can bring great joy and satisfaction, it can also create changes in living situations, care needs and sometimes require additional emotional support. What support is available when transitions and life changes occur? This webinar will discuss some of the common reasons transitions are needed and provide resource information so that seniors and family members can be empowered to make plans that meet the needs and honor individual wishes for care while being well supported.

Learning Objectives

  • Learn about signs that a senior might be in need of additional services or care.
  • Learn about options for care and assistance during this time of transition and change.
  • Learn about available resources and how to access them.
