When Mom or Dad Needs Help

Recognizing the Signs and Starting the Conversation
2026-10-19 18:00:00 2026-10-19 19:15:00 America/New_York When Mom or Dad Needs Help Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library - Program Room A-B

Monday, October 19
6:00pm - 7:15pm

Add to Calendar

Program Room A-B

Join Senior Care Consultant Lisa McLane in this informative presentation covering common signs that an older adult may need additional support.

Many adult children notice changes in their aging parents but aren’t sure when to step in or how to begin the conversation. These changes can include loss of memory, mobility, personal care, nutrition, medication management, home safety, and social isolation. Participants will learn practical strategies for having compassionate and productive conversations with aging loved ones, explore community care options, and gain resources to help families plan for the future.

This program is ideal for adult children, family caregivers, and anyone concerned about an aging loved one.

All programs are subject to change.
