Senior Living Roadmap – Helping You Navigate the Journey
Getting older brings new questions. Where will I live? What support might I need? How do I talk with my family—and where do I begin?
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
This welcoming online group brings together older adults, adult children, and others supporting someone through the stages of aging. Through practical education, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences, we’ll explore options, discover resources, and prepare for decisions with greater confidence.
Topics will include:
- Home for the Holidays - Observations & Conversations
- Staying safe and supported at home
- Understanding senior living and care options
- Recognizing when more help may be needed
- Starting important conversations with family
- Building a support team and planning ahead
Whether you’re planning for your own future, helping a parent, or facing an unexpected change, you’re welcome here. Bring your questions, your experiences, and your curiosity. You don’t need to be considering a move to benefit.

Who I Am
Hello! I am the heart and sole owner of Aging Stages Senior Services. My role as a Senior Living Advisor and Placement Specialist is to first educate others about the aging landscape. I'm a daughter who walked the aging journey with my mom for a few years with my siblings. I'm a long-time educator and I provide public presentations on senior living as often as I'm given the opportunity. As a Certified Senior Home Safety Specialist I can help others maintain a safe living environment, and I educate myself regularly on so many topics. As a former assisted living and memory care admissions professional, I bring an insider’s perspective to this important conversation. The goal of this event is for you to leave more informed, feel less fearful, and better prepared for next steps - whatever that looks like for your situation.1 attendee
