Talking to parents, children or other loved ones about caregiving is a tough, yet important conversation that many families don’t have until it’s too late.
Families should talk about a loved one’s wishes for care, finances, and forming a support team before a stroke, fall or other emergency happens, and a loved one may not be able to speak for themselves.
That’s why AARP Hawai‘i is offering a free Prepare to Care workshop in Waimea on Saturday, Feb. 24, 2018. The workshop will help current and future caregivers come up with a caregiving plan. We’ll also cover managing medications so participants can get tips on becoming your own medication manager along with your doctor and pharmacist.
