 We began our new educational series "Aging Is Not For Wimps" this past week.  The presentation is intended to educate the community on options that are available when extended care is needed, how to pay for it, how to find information, who to turn to, etc.  We had a lot of fun with the audience, and have scheduled more presentations in the near future.
  Shortly afterwards, I stumbled across a well written article (click here) where 3 daughters are struggling to get the proper care for their father, who suffers from Alzheimer's.  Due to prior decisions, obscure law's, and a confusing care system, they are finding themselves caught up in legal and procedural loop holes.  It's a touching article, and makes one wonder if the situation could have been avoided with some prior planning.
  It's human nature to want to put things off, especially when hard decisions must be made for a loved one.  However, doing so can lead to a situation that's difficult to manage and uncomfortable for all.  Facing challenges, educating yourself on options, and taking action can help avoid this.  Hopefully, none of us ever finds ourselves in the position of the 3 daughters in the above article!
  Be sure to check our website and FaceBook page if you're interested in attending one of our presentations.  We'll post the schedules as soon as they are finalized.
