Session Details

Session 1 — Thursday, April 2: Medicare &amp; Medicaid
Time: 5:30 – 6:30 PM
Speakers: Jennifer Robinson, Community Liaison; Melissa Taylor, Memorial Hospital
This session will clarify the key differences between Medicare and Medicaid, explain what each program covers, and guide attendees through the process of applying for CFI (Choices for Independence) long-term Medicaid — before a crisis makes the need urgent.

Session 2 — Thursday, April 9: Making Order Out of Chaos
Time: 5:30 – 6:30 PM
Speakers: Lindsay Kafka, RN, TCN; Julie Lanoie, Director, TCNA
Caregiving often arrives suddenly, leaving families scrambling to manage finances, coordinate medical appointments, and navigate unfamiliar systems. This practical session offers concrete tools and frameworks for getting organized in advance — including guidance on advance directives — so families are prepared before they’re in the middle of a crisis.

Session 3 — Thursday, April 16: When Is It Time? Understanding Hospice
Time: 5:30 – 6:30 PM
Speakers: Kim DeSanctis, Hospice Director, VNHCH; Dr. Rachel Hamilton, Hospice Medical Director and Memorial Hospital Primary Care Physician
“When is it time for hospice?” is one of the most difficult questions families face. This compassionate session covers hospice medical eligibility criteria, what hospice care pays for, and the full scope of physical, emotional, and family support that hospice provides — offering clarity and reassurance to those who may be approaching this decision.
