This guide looks like it contains much valuable information:


We would like to share that one of the resources available through the Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Caregiving, A Guide on Advanced Care Planning Resources: For People Living with Dementia and Their Care Partners has been recently updated!

This is a living document and future versions of this resource will be made available on our website for your reference. 


A Guide on Advanced Care Planning Resources: For People Living with Dementia and Their Care Partners contains a range of tools, materials and information related to advanced care planning, including financial, housing, medical, legal, and palliative/hospice care assistance. It is the result of a comprehensive, environmental scan of available dementia-specific advanced care planning resources. This guide is intended to be used primarily by people living with dementia and their care partners. It should be used as a tool to help navigate and provide recommendations for effective care, services, and considerations at various stages of cognitive impairment and dementia.


It was good to see Michael back on the site for a couple of kind and gracious posts.
