2024 “Envisioning Our Dying” Video Series

Fairfield Cares gave presentations on the absolute necessity of planning ahead for illness and death including financial and legal preparation, knowledge of wills and trusts, and creating directives for family and medical personnel. Sponsored by the Fairfield Public library, the 3-part series is available on Fairfield Public Library’s Youtube Channel. Click here.

Part 1 - What Are the Levels of Care, Who Pays? What are Independent Living, Home Care, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing Care, and Hospice? When does one qualify? Who pays for what?

Part 2 - Be Prepared: End of Life Finances and Legalities

Fairfield Attorney Shane Zisman discusses the most important aspects of finances, insurance, deeds, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney that will enable us to answer essential questions and give directive powers to those we trust.

Part 3 - Five Wishes: Letting Others Know Exactly How You Want to Be Treated

Five Wishes addresses your personal, emotional, medical and spiritual needs and lets you say exactly how you wish to be treated if you get seriously ill. The presentation also introduces the American Bar Association Commission on the Legal Problems of the Elderly, a well-regarded and easy to use document that leads experts in formalizing end-of-life care.
