We offer independent living communities a gentle, educational workshop that helps families plan for the critical moments after death with more clarity and less confusion.

This easy to book and easy to run, 60-minute workshop was built for Activities and Life Enrichment Directors who want meaningful programming without the pressure.

About First 24:

First 24 was created to help families make a clear, loving plan for the first 24 hours after a death. In a time when people are often overwhelmed, grieving, and unsure what to do next, First 24 offers calm guidance, practical steps, and a simple framework that brings clarity to a difficult moment. The goal is to reduce stress, prevent confusion, and help families move through the first hours with a little more peace and a lot less chaos.

What attendees receive

  • Their own First 24 Planner to keep and share with family.
  • Local resources to help them know where to turn next.
  • A calm, step-by-step framework for the first 24 hours after a death.
  • Practical guidance that helps reduce confusion, stress, and family disagreement.
  • Language and structure they can actually use with spouses, children, and siblings.
  • Peace of mind from having a plan in place before a crisis happens.

Why it matters

  • Gives residents and families something genuinely useful, not just another event.
  • Fits naturally into independent living and life enrichment programming.
  • Helps communities offer meaningful support without having to host the hard conversation themselves.
  • Positions the community as thoughtful, supportive, and family-centered.
  • Creates a memorable program that is easy to repeat and easy to recommend.
