Starting the Conversation
A Telephone Learning Series session presented by the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 2 p.m. EST
Although it’s not always easy, there are issues that every family should discuss — issues such as living arrangements for an elderly or ill family member, the execution of a living will, health care durable power of attorney, and sharing the care.
