Most of us acquire many more possessions than we need throughout our lives, then hang onto them for dear life. Without meaning to, we allow our stuff to take over our space, interfere with our energy, and become huge burdens when we need to move. Speaking from experience, Liz addresses the age-old topic of over-consuming and the importance of downsizing – taking control of our stuff so we can enjoy it more and improve the way we grow older.

There is probably nothing more difficult than caring about (and for) someone with a dementing illness. Gradually, you watch a person you've known for a lifetime become someone you hardly recognize and who, over time, may not recognize you. Planning, understanding, and preparing are essential tools to mastering these skills. The more you know, the better your decisions will be.

Few of us plan to live as long as most of us probably will. Even fewer prepare for the unexpected needs and frailties that come with these added years. As a result, many adult children find themselves in the "driver's seat," helping their parents navigate this strange territory. How do you start the conversations that will help your parents prepare for their futures -- even when they resist?

Conversation Starters: How to Introduce Your Aging Parent to Housing & Care Options
Where: Aegis of Bellevue
148 102nd Ave SE
Bellevue, WA 98004
Free
For more information, call 425-296-1293
Forty years ago, “family planning” meant figuring out how many kids you wanted. Today, because we’re living so long, it means planning to live where we’re safe and comfortable -- despite physical disabilities and, perhaps, severe memory loss. The catch: introducing an aging parent to the right services can be far more complicated and difficult than you imagined! This timely and important workshop will help you understand the housing and care choices that are available for this stage in life, their pros and cons, and some of the ways to start the conversation with your parents, helping them see the wisdom of making a change. The latest statistics -- almost 50% of those who reach 85 will have Alzheimer’s disease and 70% of us will need assistance with our daily activities – means we all need to be fully prepared to make good choices.
