Knowing When It’s Time: Navigating the Decision to Start Care – Webinar – Scheduled and On-Demand

One 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.

Rather 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.

Participants in this webinar will be able to:

• Recognize key risk factors that indicate when a client or family may benefit from additional care.
• Understand the professional’s role in supporting safe discharges and smooth care transitions.
• Guide families with practical questions that uncover unmet support needs at home.
• Communicate the benefits of timely home care in reducing readmissions, promoting recovery, and easing family caregiver stress.
• Build confidence in initiating sensitive conversations that help families make informed care decisions before a crisis occurs.
