Not Ready Yet: Because the Best Decisions Happen Before You’re Forced to Make Them<\/h3>\n

If you’ve noticed changes in someone you love and aren’t sure what to think \u2014 or suspect dementia but aren’t ready to face it head-on \u2014 this workshop is for you.<\/p>\n

It’s okay to feel uncertain or unprepared. But the most difficult decisions in a dementia journey are made far more peacefully before a crisis forces your hand.<\/p>\n

In this gentle, no-pressure session, we’ll walk through what lies ahead: caregiving options, in-home assistance, professional care management, and housing arrangements that can grow with your loved one’s needs.<\/p>\n

You don’t need all the answers today \u2014 just the willingness to take one quiet, courageous step toward being prepared.<\/p>\n

Dawn Jefferson<\/strong>, Education and Support Coordinator at Insight Memory Care Center will be facilitating this workshop.<\/p>\n

RSVP with Zeb Chaudry<\/strong> at\u00a0SHAHZEB.CHAUDHRY@sunriseseniorliving.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
