Patricia Garren, RN, BSN, MHA, Hospice Program Director for Masonicare Home Health & Hospice, will explore the importance of advance care planning for adults of all ages — not just the elderly — and explain how taking just a few minutes to obtain and complete a simple legal document — an Advance Directive — will allow us to convey our wishes about end-of-life care ahead of time to family, friends and health care professionals and help avoid confusion and undue stress in the future.
Masonicare Home Health & Hospice, which serves residents throughout Connecticut, is an affiliate of Wallingford-based Masonicare, Connecticut’s leading not-for-profit provider of senior healthcare and retirement living.
