What A Night!!! ✨

It was an absolute pleasure hosting the Empowering Caregivers Workshop. We had a fantastic time throughout the event, and our attendees found it both informative and enriching. Addressing various aspects of supporting aging family members. The event featured a panel discussion with experts, including Angie, a mortgage broker, Eugene, a PSW (Personal Support Worker) coordinator, and Clare, a downsizing company representative.

Angie provided an in-depth overview of reverse mortgages, explaining how they can be a valuable financial tool for seniors. The discussion covered eligibility criteria, the benefits of unlocking home equity to fund care, and potential pitfalls to avoid.

Eugene shared strategies for effectively managing in-home care services. Topics included selecting qualified caregivers, coordinating care schedules, and ensuring high-quality support tailored to individual needs. The coordinator emphasized the importance of communication and collaboration among caregivers, family members, and healthcare providers.

Clare offered practical advice on transitioning to smaller living spaces. This included tips on decluttering, organizing, and emotionally preparing for the move. The discussion also touched on how to identify suitable housing options that cater to the specific needs of aging individuals.

Throughout the workshop, attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussions, gaining valuable insights and resources to better support their aging loved ones. The event highlighted the importance of a holistic approach to caregiving, incorporating financial planning, personalized care, and thoughtful living arrangements.

The participation and enthusiasm made this a successful evening enjoyed by all.

A special thanks to the Toronto Hunt Club for providing an incredible venue, and to our special guests/speakers @eugenepark, @angelalvarez, and @clareplatt for sharing their knowledge and expertise. We couldn't have done it without everyone involved.

We look forward to hosting more exciting events and workshops in the future.
