Understanding Capability, Dementia and Frailty in BC, Canada

Presented by Connie Jorsvik, BSN, of PatientPathways.ca, join us to understand the various forms of cognitive decline, how to spot the signs, and when/how to ask for testing and help.

Cognitive decline and frailty are complex journeys that drastically impact how you navigate BC’s healthcare system. This workshop demystifies these conditions by clarifying the differences among various types of dementia and frailty, as well as how legal capability is assessed. You will learn about the testing and diagnostic process, as well as the unique risks facing those who live alone and experience cognitive changes. Instead of waiting for a health crisis to take choices out of your hands, you will leave with a clear understanding of when to seek help, how care partners can step in, and how to put proactive plans in place so your rights and wishes are always protected

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

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

Please share this important event widely!

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
