SUMMARY:Navigating Difficult Conversations About Aging
DESCRIPTION:How to Talk About Future Care with Compassion and Confidence\nTalking about future care\, changing needs\, and end-of-life wishes is rarely easy—but starting the conversation before a crisis can make all the difference. \nJoin Rachelle Lavalier\, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Sholom\, for a thoughtful and practical seminar designed to help older adults and their families approach some of life’s most important conversations with greater confidence\, empathy\, and clarity. \nWith more than 20 years of experience in aging services\, Rachelle has guided hundreds of families through care transitions and difficult decisions. During this interactive presentation\, she’ll share practical communication strategies that can help families move from avoiding these conversations to having them with openness and respect. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nWhy starting the conversation early leads to better outcomes\nHow to recognize when it’s time to begin talking about future care\nWays to approach sensitive topics with empathy and confidence\nQuestions that encourage meaningful and productive conversations\nHow to navigate differing opinions among family members\nTips for keeping your loved one’s values\, wishes\, and independence at the center of every decision\nResources that can help families continue the conversation after the seminar\n\nWhether you’re planning ahead for yourself or helping support an aging parent\, spouse\, family member\, or friend\, you’ll leave with practical tools you can begin using right away. \nDate: Wednesday\, August 12\, 2026 \nTime: 10:30 AM \nLocation: Edina Senior Center \nPlease RSVP directly to the Edina Senior Center at 952-833-9570.
