In The Checklist of Your Life--Fill In The Blanks!

Gain Control. Gain Confidence. Gain Peace of Mind. And Have Fun Doing It!

In this lively, one-of-a-kind presentation, Lynn McPhelimy will provide inspiration and motivation to review the “facts” of your life and, ultimately, pull it all together in one place—for yourself and your loved ones.

Ask yourself: In your absence...

• Would your family or friends know how to take care of your house, your pets, the yard, the cars?
• Would they know where to look to find your important papers?
• Do they know all your bank accounts, where the insurance policies are, where the titles to the cars are?
• Do they know what your pets need to be well taken care of?
• Do they know where your secret hiding places are?
• Do they know the significant events and cherished memories that make your life unique?
• Do they know the stories behind the “stuff” you've gathered over the years?
• Do they know what special songs or readings you would like at your service?

For Healthcare Professionals: What Does It Really Take To Make The Move?
PUT YOURSELF…
IN THEIR ATTICS, IN THEIR BASEMENTS, IN THEIR CLOSETS,
IN THEIR HEARTS
AND IN THEIR MINDS…
WHAT IT REALLY TAKES TO DOWNSIZE AND MOVE FROM THEIR HOME TO A NEW COMMUNITY?

--Your clients and potential residents are overwhelmed, tired, frustrated, scared, vulnerable and sad.
--They don’t want to say goodbye to their favorite couch or the fine china. But, the 7 foot long lime green plastic-covered couch just is not going to fit in their “new” place and they won’t be giving dinner parties any time soon.
--There are junk drawers, closets and cabinets, attics and basements, garages and sheds and outhouses that have turned into sheds that have not been touched in 30+ years…but are chock full of memories of who they were and what they did every day.

Some of the topics that will be discussed:

1. What are YOU thinking when a prospective resident/patient comes through the door of your community or healthcare facility?

2. What are THEY (the prospective new residents/patients) saying but really thinking?                      
3. Who is YOUR competition? (Answer: Not the health care community down the road.)

4. What is EMPATHY (not to be confused with sympathy) and HOW do YOU get some?

5. Making the MOVE EASIER…PHYSICALLY for the Parents, Families and Friends

6. Making the MOVE EASIER…EMOTIONALLY for the Parents, Families and Friends

7. Set the Tone–EXCEED EXPECTATIONS—Make a Difference!


Objectives:
1. Create a better understanding of what it really takes to make the move—emotionally and physically for the older adults and their families to a new community.
2. Get back to basics–Remember why you got into this business in the first place.
3. Put humanity back into the business.
4. Improve communication and understanding–don’t look and feel like the Walmart Greeter.
5. Be motivated to create a real sense of community in the community—resulting in improving census building and customer service.
6. Create/Increase empathy (not sympathy) among staff.

Don't Worry, Honey... I'll Take Care of It!

Heard that before? Famous last words? Do you really know what you should be worrying about or not worrying about?

Is ignorance really bliss?

Feeling a bit afraid, overwhelmed, intimidated? No need to be after coming along on this little "trip".

With Lynn McPhelimy leading the trip, you will "visit" places you haven't thought about going to or maybe not dared to go. Upon your return home, you will be motivated and inspired to do things you hadn't planned on doing and saying things that should have been said a long time ago. You will finish the trip with a feeling of confidence, security, and direction!

Some of the places you'll “visit” (while never leaving your seats) are:

  • A lawyer's office... to discuss what you need and why you need a will, a living will, a healthcare proxy, a power of attorney.
  • Your mailbox...to sort through piles of important numbers from your banks, investments, insurance companies, credit card companies, utility companies. Even your junk mail may reveal some clues!
  • Under the hood of your car...to make sense of it all.
  • A funeral home...to find out what you can do ahead of time that won't cost you anything. You'll be pleasantly surprised!
  • Your attic...for a trip down Memory Lane.
  • Your kitchen table with a pen in hand...to say some things that just maybe should have been said a long time ago.
  • Three months from today...Just wait and see!
