This program takes a practical look at these often-confused services and the important roles they can play throughout an older adult’s healthcare journey.
Our panel will explore who qualifies for each type of care, what services are provided, how care is initiated, where it can be provided, how it is paid for, and whether different services can work together. We’ll also address common misconceptions—particularly surrounding palliative care and hospice—and why understanding these options before a medical crisis can give families more choices.
Most importantly, we’ll help adult children know what questions to ask when a doctor says, “It may be time for some additional help.”
The right care isn’t always about giving up—it can be about adding support, managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and helping families navigate what comes next.
