Advance Care Planning: Below are two links to help you start having the conversation. Also, you can visit your hospital website for information on Advance Care Planning:

Personal Care, Boarding Home and Long Term Care: Medicare.gov is a good resource for you as you begin your search. It can be a bit challenging to navigate around their web page, but it will allow you to search by state and county. You can compare facilities against each other. At the end of the day, I always recommend a visit. Your county Area Agency on Aging can also be a resource.

Check out Brene’ Brown’s video on Empathy:

Here is a great resource from the American Hospice Foundation on what not to say to someone who is grieving. It also provides ideas/options to support those who are grieving. https://americanhospice.org/working-through-grief/helping-your-bereaved-friend/
