Main Event Scheduled
October 24th at 7:00pm
A representative from Parmenter Home Care & Hospice will be joining us and discussing how Advance Care Planning is a process. It takes time. It requires an understanding of care options, intimate conversation, quiet reflection and thoughtful choices in seeking to improve the honoring of wishes for care at end-of-life through outreach and engagement. This written plan is known as Advance Care Directives - and is shared with loved ones and healthcare providers, choices for care are more likely to be honored, stress is reduced and, ultimately, health care is delivered more effectively.
