What to Know Before You Need Care

Julie Ference, CNML, BCEN, PHRN, MSN, RN:  Chief Nursing Officer | AHN Neighborhood Hospitals

PANEL 3: Staying Independent
Home, Help & Your Changing Options

Nicholas brings more than a decade of experience spanning caregiving, memory care, public health and home care, giving him a firsthand understanding of the challenges families face as care needs begin to change.
You’ll hear about: How to recognize when help at home may be needed, what home care can—and can't—provide, and ways families can plan ahead rather than waiting for a crisis.

Amy Rabo:  Director of Referral Development | Presbyterian SeniorCare Network
Amy works with older adults and families as they navigate senior living, services and changing care needs. Her experience gives her a valuable perspective on one of the biggest questions families face: How do we know when it may be time to consider a different living option?
You’ll hear about: Understanding senior living and continuing-care options, when remaining at home may no longer be the safest or most practical choice, and what families should consider before making a move.
