Virtual: Attend from the comfort of your home, no matter where you live!
You Can't Unsee It
And You Shouldn't Ignore It
You came home for Thanksgiving expecting family, food, and laughter, but somewhere between the mashed potatoes and the goodbye hugs, you realized something had changed. Mom seemed confused about the dinner plans. Dad couldn’t find his car keys (again). The house wasn’t as tidy as it used to be. And beneath the smiles, you noticed a quiet worry growing in your heart: Can they really live on their own anymore?
If your trip to the family homestead left you feeling uneasy about your loved one’s safety, health, or ability to live independently, this free webinar from Lifescape Elder Care Law & Estate Planning is for you.
Recognize the Warning Signs
How can you tell if what you saw during your visit is really cause for concern? Here are just a few of the signs that all may not be well with elderly loved ones, despite their claims to the contrary.
unexplained damage to vehicles
Piles of unopened mail
changes in hygiene
unpaid bills
forgetting names of familiar people
notices from creditors
odor of urine in the house
decaying food in the refrigerator
asking the same questions repeatedly
What You'll Learn in the Webinar
How to know when it's time to step in - and when it's best to wait
The most important legal and financial questions to ask right now
How to share your concerns with your loved ones
What steps to take next — legally, medically, financially, and emotionally
Which legal documents to make sure your loved one has in place
How to handle the process if you live far from your loved one
What to do if the family can't agree on what to do next
You’ll also hear real-life examples of how other families have navigated this same turning point — and how getting the right support early can prevent a crisis later.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is designed for anyone who is beginning to see changes in an older loved one’s behavior, home environment, or daily routines, especially after a recent visit or holiday gathering.
adult children in the Kansas city area
extended family living locally
out-of-town relatives
adult children who live out of town

concerned neighbors
If you’re feeling uncertain about how to start the conversation or what to do next, you’ll leave this webinar with clarity and direction.
Why This Matters
Traveling home for the holidays often brings more than memories — it brings a big dose of reality. For many families, the trip reveals that a loved one’s ability to live independently is changing. This webinar will show you how to handle the aftermath with confidence, compassion, and a clear plan.
Sometimes, the hardest part of the journey isn't getting home. It's figuring out what to do once you're there. This webinar will help.
