Join Elder Abuse Prevention Ontario (EAPO) and CARES (Capacity Advocate & Risk Evaluations for Seniors) to learn how COVID has brought to the forefront some key issues in helping us understand the rights of people with memory or cognitive impairments and the responsibilities of those who care for them.
This webinar will first explain how and when Capacity and Consent
Assessments need to be done/evaluated, offering tips for clients, family and
friends to ensure that the health and safety needs of loved ones are balanced
with the legal right of every capable adult, to make their own choices and
decisions.
