Every day, nurses, social workers and staff at The Scarborough Hospital (TSH) help elderly patients and family members who are faced with challenging, life-altering decisions. On February 9 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., TSH will present Tough Transitions: Aging, Families and Eldercare, a free forum dedicated to making community members aware of their healthcare options and community services.
The forum is the first of TSH’s new speakers’ series It’s Time to Talk. Its focus is to help community members find resources available in the community, understand what a substitute decision-maker is, plan a geriatric future and make eldercare arrangements.
