What choices would you make to achieve a high quality life and care for yourself or for a loved one? Life transitions and changes are a natural part of the aging process which will require important decisions to be made about:

• medical treatment
• living arrangements
• caregiving
• financial matters/estate planning
• driving
• relationship dynamics
• and other changing needs

To avoid decisions made by default or in a crisis mode without the benefit of necessary information and productive communication, Elder Family Mediation and Dialogue provides a neutral third-party mediator to facilitate conversations and problem solving among necessary individuals, to the fullest extent possible, for reaching resolutions everyone can live with.

• Successful shared decision making gives those involved insights and opportunities to prevent escalation of disagreements into stressful, costly and drawn-out conflict.
• Focusing on better understanding underlying perceptions and needs of those involved, the available resources and possible options for resolution while giving everyone a chance to communicate often helps achieve mutually satisfying outcomes.
• Discovering specific concerns which trusted advisors may be necessary to help you make informed decisions.
