Make Your Medical Decision Plan with Dr. Lamb - 8 week series

Monday, May 1, 2023
Virtual

Make Confident Medical Decisions for your Loved One with Memory Impairment
Everyday Dr. Lamb cares for a person living with dementia in the ER. She sees their caregivers struggling to make decisions for them feeling unsure, overwhelmed and unprepared.

She has developed a course to teach caregivers what they need to know, in plain English, about the medical issues their person is most likely to face and then how these conditions are treated. They then turn this knowledge into a written treatment plan made for their person to fall back on when making decisions.

8 Week Program Goals
  • Be able to confidently communicate your person’s goals with nurses, doctors, or anyone else caring for them.
  • Know your person will receive the care they would want through understanding treatment options for the most common medical issues that happen in dementia and aging.
  • Have created a written decision-making plan (100% adaptable overtime) using Dr. Lamb’s process for each medical issue you are likely to face.
    Know if you come to the hospital or ER and are forced to make a quick decision, you have a plan and knowledge to do so confidently.

You’ll go from feeling worried about the unknown, to feeling informed and ready to act, allowing you to focus your time and attention on your person’s day-to-day needs and quality time together.
