Caregiving Essentials Web series- Advance Care Planning- Thursday December 12 at 1:00pm. Advance care planning is about conversations and it's about wishes. It is a time for families to reflect on personal values and wishes, and to let people know what kind of health and personal care family members would want in the future if they were unable to speak for themselves. Family caregivers can help their loved ones ensure that their wishes are heard, respected and acted upon. Join Laurel Gillespie and Donna Thomson in this important conversation about how to ease caregiver stress through advance care planning.
