Last Days workshops in March 2024 - free!

We wanted to let you know that HammondCare will be running a number of free workshops in Orange and district in March 2024.

HammondCare is bringing these face-to-face workshops to us so that carers can be better equipped to navigate the last days with a loved one.

The Last Days workshops are designed to equip people with practical knowledge and tools to navigate the last days of someone they care for.

There are also  online workshops available for those who – through distance or other circumstance – may not be able to participate in person.

HammondCare has developed the Last Days and Last Days Dementia community programs to help carers understand what to expect, bust myths and provide practical resources when caring for a person who is facing the end of their life.

Delivered by a palliative or dementia care specialist, either face-to-face or online, the workshop equips participants with knowledge and tools to navigate the last days, including links to local palliative care support services and a comprehensive resource to refer to throughout this journey.

Especially for carers in rural and regional Australia, who sometimes feel alone as they deal with this unfamiliar and deeply emotional situation, the program could make a huge difference by helping carers feel prepared and understand their options.

Included in the workshop:

•             What to expect and the role of palliative care.

•             What a “good death” might look like, and the choices we have.

•             How to have conversations about dying and plan for what’s ahead.

•             Practical information to assist with getting affairs in order. 

•             Possible care choices and support available as we near death. 

•             How grief and loss can impact individuals and support available.

•             Common rituals, rules and regulations around death.
