\nNovember Presenter: \;
\nWhen Caregiving Comes to Work: The Hidden Business Impact of an Aging Workforce&mdash\;and What Employers Need to Know
\nKatie Monahan Brooks
\nSenior Living &\; Resource Advisor
\nOasis Senior Advisors Chicago North
\n
\nThis is not a senior living presentation or a 30-minute commercial for Oasis. The premise is much more relatable:

\n\n

Its 2:17 on a Tuesday afternoon. Youre at work. Your phone rings. Mom is in the hospital. Shes going to be okay but she cant safely go home. The hospital wants a discharge plan.

\n\n

Now what?

\n\n

From there\, I walk through what happens when a completely normal family suddenly finds themselves navigating healthcare\, home care\, senior living\, finances\, Medicare\, legal documents\, family dynamics\, and a system they know absolutely nothing about.

\n\n

I also make it personal. I share my own familys experience with my grandmother\, Rita\, whose dementia journey went from Grandma is fine to a behavioral crisis\, inpatient psych\, guardianship\, a cross-country move\, and ultimately memory care. Even working in this industry doesnt make your own family immune to being completely unprepared.

\n\n

\;The presentation has some humor\, some shock value\, a very personal story\, and most importantly practical takeaways. I end with five conversations everyone should have with their parents before a crisis happens.

\nFree to attend\, purchase your lunch from set menu $15-20.
\nHope to see all there! \;
