Families struggle to confront and effectively address difficult issues related to aging loved ones and the ac- companying impact on lifestyles and routines. They find it hard to clearly identify the choices theyface, as well as to feel a sense of control over their decision-making.
This idea is an interactive, visual tool that helps people discuss sensitive subjects and work out pos- sible future scenarios in order to plan with effectiveness and reassurance. The kit could also be used by other groups such as: human resource managers discussing retirement and pension options with their employees, social workers facilitating decision-making together with the families they support or clinical professionals discussing care options with patients and their families.
