Caring for an aging parent or other adult relative brings big decisions, and planning ahead makes them easier. This first session in a four part caregiver course centers on health and practical strategies for navigating a complex medical system. It is intended for people already providing care, those noticing early indications that more time and support will be needed, and older adults who want to set their families up for success. Participants will learn how to use simple technology to keep medications, appointments, and medical records organized, what information to gather so conversations with clinicians are productive, and how to spot warning signs that additional medical support is needed. The aim is to prevent crisis-driven choices, lower stress and confusion, and help families avoid costly missteps.
