SUMMARY:Knowing When It’s Time: Navigating the Decision to Start Care
DESCRIPTION:1–2 PM Eastern | 10–11 AM Pacific \nAlso available on demand Oct. 9–Dec. 6\, 2026 \nRegister Now \nIncludes one complimentary Continuing Education (CE) credit. \nContinuing Education Credits:\n\nCalifornia Board of Registered Nursing\nCalifornia Professional Fiduciaries Bureau\nNational Academy of Certified Care Managers\nNational Commission for Health Education Credentialing\nNational Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners\nSociety of Certified Senior Advisors\n\n  \nOne of the hardest questions families face is knowing when it’s time to bring in additional care. The decision often comes with uncertainty\, guilt or fear of “waiting too long.” At the same time\, professionals play a key role in recognizing the warning signs and helping families make timely\, informed choices that support safety\, recovery\, and quality of life. \nRather than waiting for a crisis\, professionals can help families see the value of introducing care earlier—whether during hospital discharge\, after rehab\, or when day-to-day challenges begin to impact health and independence. By identifying risk factors such as medication non-adherence\, mobility concerns\, or missed follow-ups\, professionals can guide families toward care options that prevent readmissions\, reduce stress\, and promote peace of mind at home. \n  \nParticipants in this webinar will be able to:\n\nRecognize key risk factors that indicate when a client or family may benefit from additional care.\nUnderstand the professional’s role in supporting safe discharges and smooth care transitions.\nGuide families with practical questions that uncover unmet support needs at home.\nCommunicate the benefits of timely home care in reducing readmissions\, promoting recovery\, and easing family caregiver stress.\nBuild confidence in initiating sensitive conversations that help families make informed care decisions before a crisis occurs.\n\n  \nPresenter:\nLakelyn Eichenberger\, PhD\, is a gerontologist and caregiving advocate at Home Instead\, an Honor Company. She began her career working with older adults and Care Professionals at the Omaha Home Instead franchise office and now educates professionals\, families and communities on aging challenges and resources. She is a regular contributor to media outlets including ForbesHealth\, Newsweek\, and hosts Caregiver Chats\, a podcast focused on providing support and resources to family caregivers. She serves on numerous boards including the National Alliance for Caregiving\, Mosaic\, and is a member of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Dementia Care Provider Roundtable. \n  \n  \n  \nAccessibility:\nClosed captions are available for live and on-demand courses within specific browsers.
