Prepare to Care

May 14 | 10 A.M. - 12 P.M. | Saturday Taking care of an aging family member is one of the most important roles we will take on during our lives. It is also one of the most daunting and demanding roles we will ever experience. And one we should not navigate all alone. What legal documents do you need to put in place in advance? What health care and financial decisions are you allowed to make for your loved one? What are you legally obligated to do or not do? And what professionals and community resources are available to help you navigate the best long-term care plan possible for your loved one? This session presented Helen Mesoloras, an elder law attorney at Dutton Casey & Mesoloras, will provide valuable information and advice which every family caregiver needs to know. We are hosting this class in partnership with the Oak Lawn Public Library. Join us at the Oak Lawn Public Library, 9427 S. Raymond Ave. in Oak Lawn or via Zoom from the comfort of your own home.
