Keeping Seniors and Vulnerable Adults Safe at the End of Life, presented by Jennifer Mallmes, Registered Community Health Worker, birth doula and end-of-life care doula/Registered Care Aide.
This session will provide insight into how the risk of abuse may increase as a person nears the end of life.
Participants can expect to learn more about the needs of the dying and how to support someone in an appropriate way.
We will also discuss the possible areas of abuse, how to recognize abuse, and who to call if you are concerned for someone’s safety.
