Town Hall Seattle and Northwest Center for Creative Aging presents
Dori Gillam
Get Ready for Caregiving – Yours, Mine and Theirs!
Note: Town Hall events are approximately 75 minutes long.
Overnight, Dori became her parents’ caregiver – a labor of love that lasted for seven years. Her mom was suddenly a partially paralyzed wheelchair-bound amputee and her dad was declining due to increasing dementia. She wasn’t ready.
This event is to help prepare anyone – those who have been, are now, or will be a caregiver – in other words, all of us! Whether it is navigating the health care system, working with dementia, speaking about dying, or considering how to accept care if and when you need it, you will learn from Dori’s experiences.
