CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
TO CHALLENGING ISSUES
Family and elder mediation allows families to develop creative solutions to challenging issues. Sometimes families are unable to resolve or reach acceptable solutions to problems that arise within the family setting. Before engaging lawyers or the courts, mediation provides families with an opportunity to achieve a positive outcome while preserving family harmony, finances and time.
An elder care professional is a neutral party that does not make any decisions and does not take sides. Instead, the mediator listens to the issues, keeps family discussion focused on the goals, encourages consideration of all the options, and helps clear up misunderstandings and address hurt feelings.
