The Conversation Project: Talking about Healthcare Values
Zoom
City of
Louisville Recreation and Senior Center
Tuesday,
August 10th at from 1-2pm
Free
92% of Americans say that it is important to
have conversations about healthcare and end-of-life wishes, but only 32% have
actually had them. If loved ones do not know what matters most to you, they may
be left with distress and uncertainty. Starting these conversations is never
easy – but families and health care professionals report feeling better
prepared when the subject is addressed. Advance care planning can help
ensure that your wishes are heard and respected.
Join The Conversation Project in Boulder County
for an overview of advance care planning, focused on open communication and
“the conversation.” The future is unpredictable, but we can help you prepare
those that matter most be prepared to advocate for you in a variety of
circumstances.

COVID-19 AND OPT IN
PROCEEDURES
If you
have not already opted-in and wish to proceed with in-person volunteer visits
at this time, please complete all of the following steps:
1) Watch this 40 minute COVID education
refresher. It will tell you everything you need to
know to resume in-person visits. There is a section about weekly testing. This
can be ignored. All other requirements mentioned in the video are still in
place.
2) Complete the COVID Competency exam
and return it to us at volunteer@trucare.org or
by regular mail to the address in my signature below.
3) Complete
this short opt-in Google Form. Please
answer all questions.
4) Complete a personal health screening before each
visit or before each shift at the Care Center. For
home visits, call the family the day of the visit to confirm they are prepared
to see you. Ask them: "has anyone in the home had symptoms of COVID-19 in
the last 7 days." If they say yes, cancel your visit and let us
know. Indicate their answer on the corresponding question on your personal
health screening.
