Beaverton: Advanced Stage Family Caregiver Workshop

This in-person workshop, which is for Family Caregivers only, will provide practical guidance for navigating your loved one’s advanced PD.

This education workshop is designed to equip family members and caregivers with the knowledge and resources to approach the advanced stages of the disease with greater confidence. Recognizing that every family situation is unique, this program will educate caregivers about the issues and decisions impacting quality of life. This includes an exploration of the physical and cognitive changes to expect, as well as the other medical aspects of advanced PD; the legal considerations to be aware of including long-term care basics, power of attorney, and Medicaid planning; and finally a discussion of hospice services – what it really means, when it may be appropriate, and how to start this important conversation early.
