3:00 – 4:00 p.m. Aging Choices and Caregiving & The Type A Personality, presented by Sara Beth Warne of Aging in Place Services, Elizabeth Moss, President and Founder, WholeCare Connections, Inc., and Cindy Laverty, The Care Company
Most people and their families fail to make choices and plans until a health issue or death occurs, forcing them into quick changes – often out of their hands. Making these important decisions about health care can become confusing for families during a crisis and when taking place in the middle of already complicated lives. We should choose now how we plan for our aging years.
The role of Caregiver creates constant conflict for “Type A” personalities. A Type A personality is inclined to control situations, fix what is wrong, and meet deadlines, while a Caregiver quickly discovers that there is little or no control when it comes to caring for a loved one. Caregiving teaches each of us to live life on life’s terms, and that's not always a lesson easily accepted. In this presentation, Family Caregiver Coach Cindy Laverty shares the ins of outs of managing the caregiving journey without losing your mind.
