Uncovering the True Cost of Aging: Planning & Preparing for the Future

Presented by Connie Jorsvik of PatientPathways.ca, join us for this engaging online discussion about how much aging can actually cost us, and how to plan for it.

Many people assume government healthcare covers all senior care, but hidden expenses and complex fee structures often create high-stakes financial surprises. This workshop clarifies the costs of home support, assisted living, and long-term care, and breaks down the critical differences between publicly subsidized programs and private options.

Identifying out-of-pocket expenses and subsidy rules today will help protect your savings and ensure you stay in control during a sudden health crisis.

What you will learn

- The vital role of an Enduring Power of Attorney (EPOA) in managing care finances

- Hidden out-of-pocket expenses like non-covered medications, mobility equipment, and transport

- Fee formulas and service differences between public and private home care


At the end of our chat, we will open the floor for your questions.

Can’t make it? Not to worry, recording will be emailed to all registrants.

A Note About Registration

The credit card section for donations on the following pages defaults to a US address format, making entering Canadian postcodes tricky.

Here's the simple fix:

- When you get to the credit card payment section, look for the small US flag icon next to the billing address fields.

- Click the flag, and you will be able to select Canada (CA).

- The address fields will instantly update to Canadian style—provinces like BC/ON and proper postal code format.

- Fill in your details and complete payment.

So sorry for the trouble, and hugest gratitude for your contributions. We're working with Ticket Tailor to improve defaults, but this fix will work in the meantime. If you've tried this and it still doesn't work, please email: connie@patientpathways.ca
