As more people experience memory loss, it is critical to plan ahead before someone is impacted by memory loss and decision-making capacity. In this no-cost presentation, participants will learn about advance care planning and the importance of having conversations now. By taking action, individuals can communicate their preferences for care and express who they may want to provide support as their needs change. This session will also explore legal planning, palliative care, hospice, and POLST (portable medical orders).
