A Masterclass for Elder Caregiving
Led by Maureen Rulison, BCPA, CMP, a Board-Certified Patient Advocate, Certified Medicaid Planner, and dementia care specialist, this masterclass blends professional insight with deeply personal experience. Joined by a team of nationally recognized experts across elder law, healthcare, finance, dementia care, and spiritual support, Maureen walks you step-by-step through the essential elements of building a meaningful, person-centered plan for care.
What You’ll Learn
Across four powerful modules, you will gain both practical tools and emotional insight to help you and your loved ones prepare for the future before a crisis strikes.
Step 1: Getting to Know You
Start your journey with Maureen’s story and philosophy, that care planning begins with love, not paperwork. Learn how to gather essential documents, understand legal and medical frameworks, and begin building a plan that reflects your family’s unique values and needs.
Step 2: Tools for Living Your Best Life
Discover how to design a care plan that goes beyond health and safety, one that protects joy, purpose, and autonomy. Sessions cover topics such as dementia-inclusive care planning, financial readiness, home care and adult day programs, organizing living spaces, and preserving what makes life meaningful.
Step 3: Taking Care of Those Who Take Care of Us
Caregivers, or care partners, are the backbone of every care plan. This module focuses on caregiver well-being, emotional resilience, and practical self-care. You will hear from inspiring voices on mindfulness, balance, advocacy, and finding joy amid challenge.
Step 4: Final Stages Planning
Confront one of life’s hardest conversations with grace and courage. These sessions address end-of-life planning, dying with dignity, grief preparation, and legacy creation, offering families a framework for peace, purpose, and closure.
Expert Guidance You Can Trust
Throughout the series, you will hear from leaders in their fields, including:
- Estate planning attorneys and financial advisors who help secure your loved one’s future
