🌿 How Do You Know It’s Time? Talking with an Aging Parent 🌿
Talking with an aging parent about future care, safety, and independence is never easy—but waiting too long often leads to stress, crisis-driven decisions, and family conflict. Research shows that 70% of adults avoid these conversations until a health event forces the issue. Families who engage earlier, however, report higher satisfaction, better outcomes, and reduced financial strain.
This seminar will help you:
✅ Recognize when it’s time to start the conversation
✅ Learn respectful, effective approaches
✅ Identify who should be involved
✅ Keep the dialogue natural and ongoing
Participants will walk away with a framework for meaningful discussions and practical next steps to guide loved ones with dignity and confidence.
