Near North Palliative Care Network, your local visiting hospice for 28 years, is responding to the needs of our aging community and to the increasing need for visiting hospice awareness and services. Seniors Helping Seniors, will run from September to June and aims to empower the community with free education and training about end-of-life care. Caregivers and their loved ones will learn that death and dying can happen without undue pain and surrounded by loved ones and support in their home. These sessions will increase seniors' ability to be caregivers for each other, to take advantage of community resources, and to pre-plan for their own end-of-life care.
68% of our Seniors choose to age and die at home. This means that we need a massive percentage of our population trained to give care to their loved ones at home while keeping a high quality of life as caregivers, and ensuring high-quality end-of-life to their loved ones. All seniors and caregivers of our community are invited to participate and there is no charge. Sessions happen on the first Wednesday of each month from 1-3 pm at St. Joseph’s Motherhouse.

We grieve every time we experience loss. As we age, we experience more loss and more grief, including anticipatory grief, multiple losses, loss of health, mobility, income, family members and friends, socio-economic status and much more. How can we help ourselves, and give support to our loved ones in the middle of multiple losses, as we age?
This session will help you understand many aspects of aging and loss, and also provide you very simple and straightforward tools that will help you keep your personal quality of life and help your loved ones do the same, especially and end-of-life approaches.
