Hope Springs Adult Day Care Center is sponsoring a free community workshop on “What to Do Following a Diagnosis.” The presenter is Amelia Crotwell, owner and founder of Elder Law of East Tennessee. The event is 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 22, at Hope Springs, 4036 Gap Road, Knoxville.

“A diagnosis of a progressive condition such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease can derail the whole family’s sense of stability,” said Hope Springs owner/director Vicki Worley. “Cognitive decline makes sound decision-making so much harder and has legal ramifications.”

Worley said Crotwell will help families overcome the legal, financial, long-term care and health care challenges associated with aging and disability.

“She will be discussing the legal and care-planning for the person with a progressive disease as well as the importance of care for family caregivers. She will also touch on the five most important legal documents everyone should have.” Reserve space by calling 865-377-3924 or emailing vcw.hopespringsadcc@gmail.com.
