Re-Visioning Our Dying: Practical Steps, Proven Possibilities

1:30 pm · 3:30 pm
Fairfield Cares, with the sponsorship of the Fairfield Public Library, is offering a free informational 3-part series on the subjects of death and dying called “RE-VISIONING OUR DYING: Practical Steps, Proven Possibilities”.
September 23rd – Part 1: What Are the Levels of Care, Who Pays?
The first presentation in the series, “What Are the Levels of Care”, will be led by Jennifer Hamilton, a respected senior health care and hospice veteran from the Fairfield community. Many are not familiar with the actual options and lack of options that are available as we age and need more care. What are Independent Living, Home Care, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing Care, and Hospice? When does one qualify? Who pays for what?
September 30th – Part 2: Be Prepared: End of Life Finances and Legalities
“Be Prepared: End of Life Finances and Legalities”, the second talk, led by Fairfield Attorney Shane Zisman, will discuss the important aspects of finances, insurance, deeds, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney that will enable attendees to decide essential questions and give directive powers to those they trust. The benefits to family members and loved ones are enormous; if these matters are decided before any serious mental or physical impairment occurs, harmony can prevail and conflicts avoided.
October 7th – Part 3: Five Wishes: Letting Others Know Exactly How You Want to Be Treated
The final presentation, “Five Wishes: Letting Others Know Exactly How You Want to Be Treated”, will also led by Jennifer Hamilton, who has assisted many people in thinking about and creating their final directives. The first living will addresses your personal, emotional, medical and spiritual needs and lets you say exactly how your wish to be treated if you get seriously ill. The presentation will also introduce the American Bar Association’s “Commission on the Legal Problems of the Elderly”, a well-regarded and easy to use document that leads experts in formalizing end-of-life care.
