About this session
A parent’s fall, a diagnosis or a missed bill often turns a working adult into a caregiver overnight, with decisions to make and nobody to ask. This session gives people a practical sequence: get a clear picture, have the early conversations, build the support around their parents, and hold work and their own life alongside it.
The expert covers how care is found and paid for where your people are: in the US, what Medicare and Medicaid do and don’t cover and how to find local services through the Eldercare Locator; in the UK, local council care assessments and Carers UK; and the equivalents in every other country you are in.
What your people take away
- Map where your parents are today: health, home, money and who else helps
- Have the early conversations about what they want and who decides
- Find and vet help at home and in the community where they live
