Death Café – Circle of Sharing

Tuesday, May 19th, 1:00 PM Via Zoom

A unique opportunity to share what’s on your mind regarding this often-unspoken subject. It’s not morbid, we promise! If ever we needed a place to talk about death, this is it! Death Café’s (http://deathcafe.com/what/) have been steadily gaining fans. At Death Cafe people, often strangers, gather to eat cake, drink tea and discuss death. A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. Even though you will all be in your homes, please enjoy some tea and cake during the call!

Virtual Grief Group brought to you by our friends at SF Senior Center – Aquatic Park

Thursdays, May 7 through June 11, from 11am-12pm. San Francisco Senior Center – Aquatic Park, in collaboration with VITAS Hospice, is offering a six week Zoom virtual grief group for those seeking emotional support during these difficult times. As much of our day to day life has been impacted by the pandemic, so has our grief related to the losses in our life. Often when we are grieving, we can feel alone and isolated. When we add to that the social isolation imposed for safety reasons, the aloneness can be overwhelming. If you would like a place to talk about your experience, please plan to join the group which will be facilitated by Dale Poland, Bereavement Service Manager at VITAS Hospice.

To access the group meeting, please use this same information for every meeting. It’s a unique ID just for .

Session 3: Multi-Generational Planning for Quality Long Term Care

Thursday, May 21, 3 – 4 PM

Advance Registration Required: bit.ly/NEXT-Reg

This webinar will explain the “spectrum of long-term care,” which includes everything from home-based care to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). It will describe the alternative approaches to paying for the cost of care. This will include self-funding, smart use of home equity, LTC insurance, and government-based programs. Emphasis will be placed on multi-generational planning steps to protect the family home and other assets while qualifying for Medi-Cal, which can pay for skilled nursing care. Planning to “stay at home” will include the under-utilized PACE and the VA Aid and Attendance programs.
