Staying Put in New Canaan, in partnership with the New Canaan Community Foundation and the New Canaan Library, invites the community to an engaging and practical conversation designed to help families navigate the challenges and opportunities of aging, with confidence.

Being Prepared, Staying Connected: Supporting Aging Parents with Confidence will take place on Wednesday, March 25, from 6:30 to 7:30pm at New Canaan Library’s Jim and Dede Bartlett Auditorium.

Do you feel prepared to support aging parents with clarity and confidence? Are you also thinking ahead about your own longevity? This lively discussion will focus on the legal, financial, medical, housing, and caregiving decisions that help older adults live well as they age. With warmth and good humor, the program will address common challenges that can strain relationships, jeopardize caregiver health, and waste precious time and money.

The evening will be led by Janet Simpson Benvenuti, founder of Circle of Life Partners and author of Don’t Give Up on Me! Supporting Aging Parents Successfully. Janet brings a rare blend of expertise and empathy, shaped by her background as a scientist and pharmaceutical executive, as well as her personal experience balancing two demanding careers, two parents in declining health, and two toddlers. With more than 20 years of experience in the field, she is recognized as one of the nation’s leading advocates for families navigating aging.

A complimentary copy of Don’t Give Up on Me! will be available to attendees at the presentation.
