This course brings peace of mind to both residents and their family members. Peace of Mind comes from making informed choices about the myriad of options for the decisions involved in aging. It was developed because of a resident’s need for practical guidance and information.
The decisions focus on three areas: Legal, Financial and Health issues. Please see the FAQs below.
The next course will be Spring, 2024. This 12-class, practical course will promote Peace of Mind as you explore, understand, and document your ongoing legal, financial & health options. Registration for the course will be in mid-February.
