McGill Cares: Planning for a Transition of Care

Mr. Matt Del Vecchio is a Certified Professional Consultant on Aging (CPCA).  He is the owner of Lianas Senior Transition Support, which provides families with guidance and support in navigating home care and senior living communities.  Mr. Del Vecchio is also co-host of a popular weekly radio show, “Life Unrehearsed” on CJAD800 in Montreal and writes for The Suburban newspaper as their "Seniors and Aging" columnist.    There will come a point in time when one needs to consider a transition from home into a senior-living community.  These decisions can be filled with emotion, guilt and anxiety. What can be done to avoid crisis mode?  Mr. Del Vecchio will discuss the steps that can be taken to allow for a smooth and less stressful transition.   ______________________________________________    McGill Cares is supported by the Amelia Saputo Community Outreach for Dementia Care.  McGill Cares is an initiative of the McGill Dementia Education Program, which is funded by private donations.
