Dear Lucy: When is the right time for someone with dementia to move into a care home?
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
Do you ever wonder when the time is necessary to move your loved one into a long term care facility? Join Dear Lucy as she discusses when is the right time, how and who should make that decision and the pros and cons of long term care facilities. At the end of this session, for those that are interested, Lucy will stay on the line and offer personal support. This part of the program will not be recorded.
