New Canaan Library's video: New Canaan Library Presents: Navigating Senior Care 101: How to Get from Here to There

Please join us on Tuesday, January 16, 2024 for a special presentation. We’re all familiar with the axiom that it takes a village to raise children, but what does it take to raise kids and take care of a senior loved one at the same time? As more and more caregivers face this squeeze, cries for help come from what is being called the ‘Sandwich Generation’. The Sandwich Generation isn’t tied to a particular age, but rather circumstances that are becoming more and more common; a generation stretched or squeezed by the demands of childcare, professional life, and care of a senior loved one. Members of The Sandwich Generation now have somewhere to turn to for support, information, and best practices from local experts. The Sandwich Generation Group is a monthly meeting of people in search of information, best practices, and support. A combination support group and education series designed to foster the expansion of your village to help you prepare for, or endure, your caregiving journey. In the first session, Paul and Susan Doyle, Oasis Senior Advisors, will give an overview of the entire care continuum from in home through nursing home. What are the best practices, what are the resources available, what do things cost and πhow do people pay for it? This program is in partnership with Staying Put in New Canaan.
