Dear John,

“If you have no road map, you have to create your own.” - Jacqueline Woodson

Planning for the future is like planning a road trip. You map out your journey, considering factors such as travel expenses, company you’ll keep, places you’ll see and experiences you’ll have along the way. Deciding in advance what is important to you (and how you might handle bumps in the road) ultimately leads to a smoother experience. Over time, Parkinson’s will change what you and those in your care circles do and how those things are done. Having important discussions about future care needs and financial security early on will help identify what’s most important to you, and you’ll have peace of mind, knowing you’ve mapped out your journey in advance.

This month we will be hosting a two-part webinar on creating a roadmap for the future:

Part 1: Care Planning - What You Need to Know to Plan for Care and Health Needs

We invite you to join us for the first session in our two-part series, “Creating a Roadmap for the Future.”

On Wednesday, March 15 from 2:00-3:00 PM ET, Marla Buchholz, Social Worker will discuss planning for care throughout the various stages of Parkinson’s:

When is the right time to consider changes to your care plan?
Getting started
Public and private homecare options
Day programs
Care partner respite options
Long-term Care Homes
Substitute Decision Makers
Palliative and Hospice care
…and more

We will also be joined by care partner, Penny Eccles, who will share her experience of navigating care options.

Part 2: Estate Planning - Preparing and Protecting your Future Wishes

We invite you to join us for the second session in our two-part series, “Creating a Roadmap for the Future.”

On Wednesday, March 22 from 2:00-3:00 PM ET, join Michael Morse, Senior Wealth Advisor and Portfolio Manager, and Malcolm Burrows, Head of Philanthropic Advisory Services at Scotia Wealth Management, for an insightful discussion on Estate Planning: Preparing and Protecting Your Future Wishes.

Topics covered will include:

How to create an estate roadmap for your future
The importance of having a will
The value of leaving a charitable gift
And much more!

We’ll also debunk many common myths, such as the notion that supporting both family and charity through an estate plan is not possible. Don’t miss out on this informative event!

We look forward to sharing both of these events with you! To secure your spot in these webinars, make sure to register today for Part 1 and Part 2.

See you on March 15th and 22nd!
