Are wanting to know what end of your dementia journey may look like?
On Thursday, September 17th at 7:30pm EDT, I'm hosting a Members Only Workshop called "Signs of End Stage Dementia & Hospice Workshop."
I'll show you the signs that your person is moving into the end stage of dementia, and then I'll show you when and how to bring in hospice so you don't have to go through it alone.
I'm also bringing back a highly requested special guest, hospice nurse and founder of Death Doula, Suzanne O'Brien, to share what she has seen at the end of life and how hospice really works when you're the one sitting at the bedside.
I'‘ll be answering the questions most caregivers are afraid to ask like:
How long this stage lasts?
Why they've stopped eating and drinking?
What it means when they suddenly seem better?
What to do if hospice says they don't qualify yet?
Stop wondering what's coming next and start focusing on keeping them clean, safe and comfortable.
This workshop is for caregivers who want to learn:
What the signs of end stage dementia and active dying look like, including the sudden rally most families mistake for a turn for the better, so you can stop second guessing what you're seeing and know when it's time to call for support.
How to get your person qualified for hospice, including what Medicare is actually looking for with dementia, so you can ask for an evaluation at the right time instead of waiting for a crisis or getting turned away.
What hospice will and won't do for you, from the 24 hour nurse line to 5 days of respite care, so you can plan for the hands on care that still falls on you and never feel blindsided.
Why they stop eating and drinking and sleep most of the day, and how to still connect with them once words are gone, so you can spend this time being with them instead of feeling like you're failing them.
The Workshop Will Consist Of:
A live Zoom presentation where you can volunteer or watch the practice rounds so you know what to do and say before you're in the moment.
A special guest appearance from hospice nurse and Death Doula founder Suzanne O'Brien, who will share her own experience with hospice and end of life, so you can hear it straight from someone who sits with families at the bedside.
Simple, clear next steps you can take right away, whether your person is in the late stage now or you want to be ready before you get there.
Opportunities to bounce ideas off other caregivers with a breakout rooms session at the end (usually for 15 minutes after the hour-long main session has ended.)
A questions & answers session where any questions you have will be answered.
Clear, simple guidance so you can stop dreading what's coming and start feeling confident about what to do next.I'll show you what you could be doing wrong that may be encouraging shower and hygiene refusals, and then I'll show you how to get the job done instead.

Special Bonus:
3 Cheatsheets included with your purchase:
Shower Refusals Checklist
Pinpoint the real reason behind the refusal, from pain to embarrassment to plain overwhelm, so you can stop guessing and know what you're actually up against.
Rule out the physical causes first, like a sore shoulder or a UTI hiding behind a refusal that came on suddenly, so you're not spending weeks talking your way through a medical problem.
Match the reason to the fix instead of trying everything at once, so you can walk in with a plan the next time they tell you no.
Why They Refuse to Shower Checklist
Spot what you may be doing that's feeding the refusal, from too many words to too many steps at once, so you can change your approach instead of pushing harder.
Work through the reasons in the order to check them, so you get to the source of the problem before you say a word and stop trying the right approach on the wrong problem.
Keep a record of what actually worked for your person, so your hardest won wins are still there next week and for whoever helps you next.
Shopping List for Showers & Incontinence
Find every rinse free product I trust for the days a real shower isn't happening, from no rinse soap to shower wipes to dry shampoo, so you can get them clean without the bathroom fight.
Get the incontinence products that actually fit your person, including adaptive clothing, wipe warmers and barrier creams, so changes stop turning into a wrestling match.
Click straight through to buy each one, plus the caregiving websites I use when Amazon doesn't carry it, so you can stop losing evenings to reading reviews.
