The Red Folder Project

Join us for "The Red Folder Project: Planning for the Unexpected in Caregiving" at Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library on October 20, 2026, at 2 pm. This guided workshop is designed for caregivers of individuals with dementia or those needing daily assistance, focusing on the crucial question of what to do if you can no longer provide care. Participants will learn how to organize essential information, identify backup supports, and create a clear, realistic plan for unforeseen circumstances. The session will cover important topics such as who can access your home, temporary care options for your loved ones, and ensuring that your important documents are up to date. Facilitated by Ashley Butterfield, Executive Director of Bath-Brunswick Respite Care, this discussion-based workshop will provide templates and resources to help you build your personalized “Red Folder” at home. Come for a practical conversation about preparing for life’s "what ifs."
