Dementia Friendly Orcas Sponsors Power of Attorney Talk @ Orcas Senior Center – Thursday, November 9, 2 pm
It’s estimated that more than 730 people in San Juan County currently live with dementia. For people with dementia and their families it is critical to have legal documents including advance directives and power of attorney (POA) in place.
On Thursday, November 9, local estate planning attorney, Tom Fiscus, will talk about the importance of POAs, what they are, and how to create them. The presentation will begin at 2 pm at Orcas Senior Center. It is free, and everyone is welcome.
This presentation is part of Orcas Senior Center’s Dementia Friendly Orcas project. To read more about Dementia Friendly Orcas, see www.orcasseniors.org/dementia-friendly.
