Informed Choices After
Death: A Discussion Group
Yolo County
Town Hall Meeting
Choices, legalities, and costs surrounding a
person’s death can be difficult for the
family at a time when they may feel the
most vulnerable. Pre-planning enables
families to procure information and make
reasoned decisions regarding after-death
wishes and needs.
From 9:30-11 a.m., Wednesday, June 25, the
Yolo County Commission on Aging & the
Area 4 Agency on Aging will hold a
discussion on keeping seniors independent into
their later years. It’s also an opportunity for
seniors to state what matters most regarding
their independence. Let us know if you’re
concerned about Transportation, Housing,
Home Care, etc. in your later years. Join the
conversation!
A first time organizational meeting to preplan will be discussed at 10:30 a.m. on
Wednesday, June 18. Several helpful tools
will be available for participants. This
discussion group is sponsored by Yolo
Adult Day Health Center/Woodland
Healthcare, and partially funded by the
Area 4 Area on Aging. For information,
contact Peggy Phelps at 530.666.8828 or
pphelps@dcn.org.
Health Access
for Older Californians
The CA Commission on Aging will
hold a Public Hearing on health care
accessibility and barriers in rural communities. This hearing will be held on
Thursday, June 5, 2008, from 9-11 a.m.
