In healthcare settings decisions about end-of-life care can often occur rapidly, accompanied by panic and uncertainty for the patient and their family. Whether grief or second-guessing, patients and families experience a host of emotions related to the past, present, future, and procedures designed to extend life, or bring comfort and allow natural death.
This webinar will describe the multifaceted emotional experiences of older adults and their families as they make decisions regarding end-of-life care and procedures. Using case examples, this webinar will explore real-life scenarios of two older adults and their families as they decide what is best for their aging family member. Designed to bring awareness and compassion to patient and family experience, this webinar will build bedside skill and confidence for providers who are supporting older patients and families at end-of-life.
