The options can be overwhelming. Preparing in advance can ease a lot of anxiety, save time and bring peace of mind.

What is the best path forward?

Changes in the health or memory of an older loved one often causes family to worry and gives you a lot of think about. It's also normal to feel overwhelmed and unsure about the best path forward. Perhaps your parents are resistant to your offers to help. Or mom refuses to move, insisting she's OK just where she is, but you feel otherwise.

What do you do? Where do you begin? How best to approach your older loved one to successfully partner on accessing the risks and benefits of a retirement community versus living at home?

This free mini-course will give you a solid foundation of understanding of the complex landscape of resistance, options and what you need to consider for your own unique family situation.
