Do you want to remain independent as long as possible? There are many challenges: an age-skewed demographic, an overwhelmed health care system, increased cost of living and disruptions to an individual’s anticipated support network. Discover how an intentionally formed and member-directed Care Circle can avoid or delay the need for paid help or assisted living by increasing one’s knowledge of resources, spurring development of actionable care plans, encouraging the formation of prequalified practical supports and facilitating personal centering. Lectures, handouts and stories from those who have benefited from a Care Circle will provide a road map for forming a customized circle. Not a group person? The course includes tips and resources that can benefit those who prefer a do-it-yourself approach.
