Mary Chaput, Colleen Ireland, Anne Kaiser Department of Aging & Disabilities Staff

Even the strongest caregivers with the best intentions eventually need assistance. Let’s talk about why it is so hard to ask for help and discuss how small steps in sharing tasks can help both you and your loved one maintain the best quality of life possible.

End of Life Care and Decisions

Tammy Turner, Founder & President of the Board of Directors of Care Prepared Michelle Henderson, Manager, Community Partnerships, Hospice of the Chesapeake

In the first part of this evening's workshop, Ms. Turner will discuss how creating an advanced healthcare plan can empower individuals to take charge of their future healthcare and improve their quality of life. She will also discuss the similarities and differences between a Maryland Advance Directive form and the Maryland Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) form.
