Please join Susan Hagar and Gigi van den Hoef as we dive into real-world dynamics between service providers, clients, and substitute decision makers in private care and housing settings.
Capacity Evaluations & Community Care: What's really going on?
Most people prefer to 'Age in Place' and remain in their homes for as long as possible. However, as health and care needs become more complex, individuals and families are often faced with difficult decisions around safety, autonomy, and the need for supported living arrangements. At the same time, navigating the intricacies of mental incapacity and substitute decision making has become an increasingly pressing challenge in today’s care landscape.
Topics:
1️⃣ How care providers collaborate with Substitute Decision Makers (SDMs) to support client well-being
2️⃣ What are common situations impacting service providers and SDMs in the private care and housing industries?
3️⃣ When should service providers and SDMs restrict a client's autonomy?

This session is part of an ongoing effort to build Incapacity Literacy—understanding incapacity, proactive planning, clarifying expectations from both client and SDM’s perspectives, and methodologies for professionals to better work and support clients with potential incapacity or vulnerabilities. Whether you're a frontline worker, care coordinator, or policy advocate, you’ll leave with insights to navigate these sensitive situations with greater clarity and confidence.
We look forward to seeing you there!
