Webinar “When Your Parent Gets Sick: Knowing When the ER Is the Right Choice”
When an aging parent suddenly feels unwell, it’s easy to panic — and default to the emergency room. But the ER isn’t always the safest or best first option.
Join Dr. Ian Leber, board-certified physician and founder of ConciErge MD STAT, for a practical, physician-led 1-hour webinar designed for adult children, caregivers, and families navigating urgent health decisions for older loved ones.
This session will give you a clear, calm framework to help you recognize warning signs early, avoid unnecessary ER visits, and know when urgent or emergency care is truly needed.
What You’ll Learn
- Red flags that are easy to miss in older adults
- How to tell when symptoms can be monitored safely at home
- When an ER visit is necessary — and when it may cause more harm than good
- What to do immediately after falls, weakness, or sudden confusion
- How UTIs, dehydration, fever, and infections often present differently in seniors
- A simple decision framework to reduce stress and avoid guesswork
You’ll walk away with a practical checklist and a clearer action plan — so you’re not making high-pressure decisions alone.
Who Should Attend
- Adult children caring for aging parents
- Family caregivers
- Spouses and loved ones of older adults
- Senior living community staff and coordinators
No medical background required.
