This session provides elders with coaching and guidance in effective visitation skills which will lead to impacting lives. Participants will explore the different types of visits—members, former members, interests, shut-ins, the bereaved, and those in hospitals or nursing homes. Through interactive exercises, elders will gain practical skills for each setting and learn how to thoughtfully respond to common challenges, offering Christ-centered care and hope.
