SUMMARY:End-of-Life Medical Care Planning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Palisades Village for a free workshop on end-of-life medical care planning. Many people don’t realize that if no plans are in place\, the medical community will default to keeping them alive as long as possible—a choice some may prefer. However\, everyone has the right to make informed decisions about their care\, including options like Allow Natural Death\, Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders\, and limits on life-extending treatments\, especially in cases of dementia or terminal illness. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore essential Advance Directives\, such as Living Wills and Powers of Attorney for Health Care\, which every adult should have. We’ll also discuss medical orders for those nearing the end of life\, including Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST). Additional topics include specialized directives for individuals with dementia or those in the LGBTQ+ community\, as well as Washington\, DC’s legislation on Medical Aid in Dying. \nIf you’re ready\, you’ll also have the opportunity to prepare and witness documents to ensure your wishes are clearly communicated to both your loved ones and the medical community. \nThis workshop will be led by Kye Briesath\, Life Journey Coach. \nRegister here: https://palisades.helpfulvillage.com/events/2720

SUMMARY:Understanding Your Medicare Coverage Options

He will explain all components of the Medicare program\, as well as address changes that have been made to both Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans for 2026. \nThis online event is organized by East Rock Creek Village\, but is open to everyone.

SUMMARY:Know Your Options: Getting Organized
DESCRIPTION:The beginning of the year is a time to refresh and set goals. Many resolve to get organized but sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. Join professional organizer Judy Tiger and professional daily money manager Leah Nichaman as they walk us through tips on organizing your home\, downsizing\, paperwork solutions\, streamlining payments\, and more. Judy and Leah will also share how a professional can help get you started on a path to organization. \nJudy Tiger is the owner of Just That Simple\, a company that provides decluttering and organizing services as well as ‘get ready to move’ services throughout the DC area. Owner Judy Tiger came to organizing after many years in the nonprofit sector and a childhood in the foreign service. This diverse background is reflected in her organizing skills\, her attention to detail\, her dedication to helping everyone and her sensitivity to the individual needs of each client. She believes that you deserve to be safe and happy at home\, to easily find things you need and to have places to put them away again. If that is not happening now\, she believes you could use a little help. As she says\, “It’s just that simple!” \nLeah Nichaman founded Everyday Money Management in 2006 to serve people with disabilities\, senior citizens\, and those dealing with a life change such as a serious medical condition\, divorce or loss of a spouse. Leah’s work at the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) taught her that financial organization is a challenge for many people\, particularly those with mental illness\, intellectual disabilities and dementia. She is an organized person who loves to bring order to anything – especially paperwork – and believes that financial organization plays a key role in keeping her clients independent and secure. Leah is the past president of the American Association of Daily Money Managers. She also volunteers as a Representative Payee for low income clients through EveryMind (formerly the Mental Health Association of Montgomery County). Leah holds a degree in Cognitive Science from Brown University. She has lived in several cities in the US and overseas\, including Jerusalem\, Israel and Tokyo\, Japan. Leah lives in Rockville\, Maryland with her husband\, Loren\, and has two adult daughters.
