SUMMARY:Compassionate Care Circle Introductory Meeting in Provolt
DESCRIPTION:Do you believe in a compassionate community model of care\, hope to age in place now\nor in the future\, and are aware of the reality that affording and finding in-home care\ncould be challenging in the event of an acute or chronic issue? Perhaps you are a single\nperson who feels alone and wonders how you will survive\, especially living rurally and\ntotally on your own? Or maybe you have children but don’t want to ‘depend on’ or be a\n‘burden to’ them? There are many circumstances which could create the need for help\,\nfrom hip replacement to an accident to a death in the family. \nRealizing the need in the rural areas of southern Oregon\, A Greater Applegate is\nteaming up with SOLADA (Southern Oregon Living and Dying Alliance) and a\nrepresentative of a local years-long established “care circle” to offer several initial\ninformational meetings on what it could look like to create local Compassionate Caring\nCircles\, or “beehives”\, that might be able to reduce or delay families or individuals using\npaid help or assisted living in the following ways:\n• Remaining informed about alternative care options\n• Reducing or delaying paid help or assisted living by supporting each other\n• Taking actions to establish local reciprocal relationships between friends and\nneighbors\n• Preparing for the future from a community approach\n• Developing mutual support systems around situations such as:\n• medical appointments and transportation needs\n• bulk meal preparation and delivery\n• combined errands\n• coordinated pet care\n• patient advocacy \nIntroductory meetings will be held on June 11 at the Ruch Library Community Room and\nJune 12th at Dorothy Gale’s Event Center in Provolt. Both meetings will start at 6:30 PM\nand end at 8:00. Please arrive to these meetings by 6:15 so that you can settle in and\nwe can begin on time. \nWe hope that you will choose to join us and learn about this valuable tool which can\nhelp you and those you love to live supported\, age gracefully and die peacefully in the\nrural community you love. For questions please call Hayriya Heidi Hansen 541-787-\n7490 or check out our website at www.solada.org.
