The goal of Care Dimensions’ community education and outreach is to dispel the myths surrounding hospice care and to empower individuals dealing with an advanced illness to access these services sooner so there is more opportunity to improve their quality of life. 

Care Dimensions offers a series of educational workshops to a variety of audiences, including faith communities, businesses, professional associations, civic clubs, public libraries, senior centers and other community groups who want to learn more about various aspects of end-of-life care, grief, advance care planning and many other related issues.

“Further expansion of educational opportunities to the community has always been our goal,” states Mary Crowe, Education Coordinator for Care Dimensions.  “Pam’s expertise in end-of-life care, community resources and elder care make her a great addition to our team. Care Dimensions is committed to educating members of our community who are coping with a life-limiting illness or the impending loss of a loved one on how hospice care can offer comfort, compassion and support to both patients and their families.”

Taylor, who holds a Master’s degree in Social Work with a concentration in Older Adults and End-of-Life Issues, has drawn on her experience working with elders at the Spectrum Adult Day Program to develop compelling presentations that discuss sensitive issues in a clear, easy to understand manner.

“We have many presentations to choose from or we can design a presentation to suit each organization’s needs and interests,” offers Taylor.  Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Taking the Mystery out of Hospice
  • Living with a Serious Illness
  • Anticipatory Grief
  • Caring for Yourself When Someone You Love Has an Advanced Illness
  • Making Decisions When it Matters Most
  • Live, Love, Laugh:  Life after Loss
  • Topics in Dementia/Alzheimer’s Disease
