Episode notes

Most families don't talk about end-of-life wishes until a crisis forces a decision, and by then it's often too late to ask. In this episode, retired occupational therapist, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, and Dementia Care Specialist Esther Kane explains how to start this conversation gently while everyone is calm. She clears up common myths, suggests easy ways to open the conversation and questions to ask, and explains how to choose a health care agent and put your wishes in writing.
