Legal Services for Seniors and Central Coast VNA is hosting a free advance care planning “Go Wish” session March 13, 2020, in Gonzales.

Monterey, CA, March 02, 2020 — Legal Services for Seniors and Central Coast VNA is hosting a free advance care planning “Go Wish” session March 13, 2020, in Gonzales.

This interactive workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, March 13, 2020, at Taylor Farms Family Health & Wellness Center 850 5th Street, in Gonzales.

This workshop will help community members start the dialogue about their options for care through end of life "Go Wish," a card game that has made it easier and often fun to start the conversation about end-of-life wishes. Come see the Mobile Unit and its valuable resources, such as informational documents for advance care planning, end-of-life planning and health care.

CCVNA and Legal Services for Seniors are members of Juntos con Esperanza/Together With Hope, an initiative of the Hospice Giving Foundation. This partnership was formed to promote acceptance, understanding, and care through end-of-life for people in South County. The partnership has begun talking with people in the community to understand their hopes, as well as what makes it hard for people, especially in the Latino culture, to talk about and plan for end of life. With better understanding, the goals are to expand services, with respect for culture, faith and family, so families get the best care possible, when they need it, in the way they need it. The partnership will host activities so people can talk openly, meet local professionals, and begin to trust and learn about available resources and services.
