SUMMARY:Solo Agers Group: Capacity and Advance Care Planning
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests: free! \nPlanning for the future is vital for everyone\, but Solo Agers can face unique challenges that play an important role in developing an advance care plan. During this special interactive presentation from Ellen Cushing\, Staff Attorney with CJE SeniorLife’s Irving H. and Jane W. Goldberg Legal Services\, attendees will learn about the role capacity plays in advance care planning and what to consider to best ensure your wishes are respected. We’ll discuss questions like: what is capacity and how is it determined? How can I prepare to ensure important decisions about my health and finances are based on my wishes\, even if I no longer have the capacity to make them? What should I do if I don’t have trusted family or friends who can serve as my POA? \nNone of us know exactly what the future holds\, but understanding what decisions you can make now can you help you feel more empowered to navigate possible changes and challenges down the road. \nPresenter Bio: \nEllen Cushing is a Staff Attorney with CJE SeniorLife’s Irving H. and Jane W. Goldberg Legal Services. She works with older adults on a variety of legal issues with a focus on advance care planning. Ellen counsels clients about legal documents that allow individuals to make their wishes known and choose who they trust to assist them with medical or financial decisions if needed in the future. Goldberg Legal Services is part of CJE SeniorLife’s commitment to helping older adults access the resources and support they need to age with dignity\, purpose\, and connection.
