GLMV Business Roundtable Luncheon

🍂 As November begins, let's fall into success by investing in yourself, your business, and your professional network. Whether a longtime member or attending for the first time, you'll find a welcoming environment filled with collaboration, learning, and energy! 

November Presenter: 
When Caregiving Comes to Work: The Hidden Business Impact of an Aging Workforce—and What Employers Need to Know
Katie Monahan Brooks
Senior Living & Resource Advisor
Oasis Senior Advisors Chicago North

This is not a senior living presentation or a 30-minute commercial for Oasis. The premise is much more relatable:

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.

Now what?

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.

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.

 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.

Free to attend, purchase your lunch from set menu $15-20.
Hope to see all there!
