The Other Talk is designed to help residents get past the emotional barriers that can exist between them and their families before having an open, honest dialogue about the essentials for the rest of life: financing an uncertain future, selecting the best living arrangements, getting the necessary medical care, and taking charge at the end of life. This presentation provides attendees with concepts and techniques to help residents navigate the intricacies of starting the elder care and end-of-life conversations that most residents and their families don’t want to have, including overcoming the feeling of losing control over the things they’ve spent a lifetime building such as a house, car, finances, relationships, self-esteem and self-worth.
