1st Wednesday of Every Month at noon

Tuesday September 22nd | 2:00pm - 3:00pm | People Plus, Brunswick

Palliative care and hospice care serve unique roles at different stages of illness and provide meaningful support to both an individual and their caregiver.

Did you know palliative care can begin at any stage of a diagnosis like dementia or chronic illness? Do you understand how hospice care can support quality of life?

This class, hosted by Bath-Brunswick Respite Care and taught by Beacon Hospice, will be a practical discussion to learn how both types of care can support you and your loved one.

Tuesday September 23rd| 10:30am | Virtual

Caregiving comes with a long list of responsibilities, but have you thought about what would happen if you were suddenly unable to provide care? In the event of a medical emergency, who would step in, and what would happen to the person who depends on you?

This class will focus on preparing for the unexpected. We’ll explore questions like: Who has access to your home? Where could your loved one stay for a night or longer? Are your important documents organized and up to date?
