Like so many others I am part of the so-called “sandwich generation.” We are a growing segment of the baby boomer generation that is caught between the needs of aging parents, in-laws and the like and our own children, spouses and careers. We have lots of questions but we don’t always have answers.
That is why the April 30 seminar “Planning for the Future with Our Aging Parents” is so helpful and timely.
Along with two other members of the Ridgefield William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty office (Deborah Durkee and Eloise Barron) I am proud to be a sponsor of this informative evening that offers knowledge and practical tools to help make sound decisions about aging parents.
A broad range of topics will be covered including:
How to have a meaningful discussion with your parents about aging
Assessing their needs -- and taking practial steps to address them
Getting other family members on the same page
Is it forgetfulness or dementia? And what to do about it
Drawing up a will and securing powerof attorney and healthcare proxy
Presenters include The Ridgefield Visiting Nurse Association, an elder law attorney, Laurel Ridge Rehab and Nursing Center and Ridgefield Crossings. A Ridgefield Bank representative will be available to talk about reverse mortgages and my associates and I will be available to provide information about the current real estate market and dealing with your parents’ home, whether it is in Ridgefield or elsewhere.
The seminar is free though we do ask that you reserve you space in advance as a light dinner will be provided. You can call me directly at 203-733-6469 and I will be glad to put your name on the list. The time is 6:30-8:30 p.m. and the location is the Ridgefield Community Center.
