Family Care Coordination: A Webinar for Best Practices for Siblings and Families

This webinar will help families work together more effectively, ensuring no one is left carrying the entire load.
What You’ll Learn:
-
Family Examples: Hear cases that highlight what works (and what doesn’t) when siblings and family members share responsibilities.
-
Planning Perspectives: Understand how clear roles in planning and open communication can help avoid conflict, keep everyone aligned, and provide a better living situation for your loved one.
-
When Care Shifts (Masonicare): Learn how families successfully manage transitions—from home-based caregiving to facility care—and what pitfalls to avoid.
