This presentation is for anyone who identifies
​as a caregiver for a frail elder.

My working definition of a caregiver includes both being a formal / professional caregiver such as a nurse, care aide, massage therapist, home support worker etc to being an informal / family care giver.  This might mean that you are helping an elderly neighbour who lives down the hall, visiting a grandparent who lives in a care home or generally find yourself in close proximity to elders who need more and more help with everyday stuff.

A frail elder is someone who is 65 years old or older who needs assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, cooking or mobilizing.  Often they are living in an institution such as a nursing home.

Objectives of this presentation include:

1. Discussing the natural changes expected as elders  approach the natural end of their life.  This will also include discussion of how chronic diseases (dementia, heart disease etc.) impact an elder over time in their function 
2. Teach 4 key essential questions to open conversations about health changes + decision making. These key questions are awesome whether you are a patient, an advocate or a caregiver
3. Introduction to a palliative approach to care as a resource

Preview of some content covered in the presentation:

​I have designed a questionnaire for webinar attendees but I would love to hear from anyone who is struggling with being a caregiver right now. The time you invest to share your story allows me to create things that may help you + your loved ones. Best of all, they inspire me.  
Thank you for taking the time to share!
