Free Seminar: “Having the Conversation: How to Talk to Your Parents about Accepting Help”

CareOne at Livingston Assisted Living and Family First HomeCare
will be presenting a free public seminar titled “Having The Conversation:  How to Talk to Your Parents about Accepting
Help” on April 22, 2012 from 1:30 to 3:00 pm at 76 Passaic Avenue in Livingston.  The guest speaker is Lucille H. Deutsch,
CALA, CMC, Director of Geriatric and Caregiver Outreach for Family Service of
Morris County.   As our parents begin to
have difficulties with the routines of daily life, “The Conversation” becomes
unavoidable.  Learn what information
gathering needs to be done in advance of that first communication and learn how
to initiate a dialogue with your parents in a non-threatening way. We will
address fears and anxieties on all sides, share techniques to ensure that no
one feels demeaned or diminished, and help you to work together with your
parents to agree on a proactive plan.  Advance
registration for the seminar is required, to register please call Family First
HomeCare at (973) 328-7700.
