Hire an adult Family Facilitator
Concerned about the Future of Aging Parents or Clients? Make Informed Decisions Together!
An Adult Family Facilitator guides a group of people through a dialogue in order to gather information, set goals, develop plans, and/or work together to make and implement decisions. The facilitator is a trained neutral, who is not a member of the family or organization (e.g. senior community, home caregiver agency, or aging services provider). She or he provides a safe framework for the participants and supports open and effective communication skills during difficult discussions.
At AGING IN HARMONY, we understand the challenges families and caregivers are facing as their loved ones or clients grow older. Hiring an Adult Family Facilitator can help navigate the decision-making process, especially if:
- new and complex issues must be addressed
- group members disagree about the problem
- group members experience prejudice or distrust
- the subject brings up strong emotions
- decisions must be made quickly
Hire an adult family facilitator for harmonious discussions and decisions about elder care.
Concerns that can be addressed in Facilitated Meetings with elders, families and aging services providers:
- Where can an elder find care after a hospital stay?
- How long is it safe to live alone?
- What help can be provided in the home?
- When is it better to move to a senior community?
- When might driving no longer be safe?
- Who should help with financial transactions?
- Who should make medical care decisions?
“I thought I knew most of what my parents wanted, but this was an opportunity to go much deeper. In three hours we covered everything that we needed — from very big questions about illness and incapacitation to smaller questions about possessions of sentimental value. Katharina’s facilitation was vital to focus us and empower us to dig deeper.”
