The Journey of Hospice and Palliative Care: The conversation no one wants—but everyone needs—to have.
When the conversation turns to hospice or palliative care, fear often follows. Many families avoid the topic altogether—until they can’t. But what if understanding these services could bring relief, not worry?
The Journey of Hospice and Palliative Care is a heartfelt, informative seminar designed to replace fear with clarity. Led by moderator Lee Ann Balta of Transiti, this discussion features a panel of trusted professionals—including a hospice expert, a clinical director, and a grief counselor—who guide families through the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of end-of-life care.
Together, we’ll explore the difference between hospice and palliative care, when and how to access them, what support families can expect, and how planning ahead can preserve peace and dignity in life’s final chapter.
Guests will walk away with:
- A clear understanding of hospice and palliative care—what they are (and what they aren’t)
- Practical steps for accessing care, reducing overwhelm, and planning for comfort at home
- Insight into what happens after a death at home and how to prepare ahead
- Compassionate guidance that honors both the person and the process
This event is part of Your Silver Journey, a free monthly educational series by Transiti that equips, educates, and empowers adults navigating life’s later transitions—with no sales pitch, just real answers from trusted experts.

What You’ll Learn About:
- What occupational and physical therapists recommend for home design and accessibility.
- New technologies and smart home innovations that simplify daily life.
- Affordable accessibility and universal design features that make homes livable at any age.
- Insights Universal Design; adapting homes for the future.
- Best practices for working with builders on custom homes to ensure they meet future needs.
- How some home remodels can increase your home’s value—and how others can negatively affect it.
