How to Recognize and Respond to Changes in Aging Adults
A free webinar for family caregivers who want clarity, confidence, and a clear next step for their aging loved ones.
Wednesday, January 14, 2026
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Spending time with aging loved ones—especially around the holidays—can bring moments of joy and moments of quiet concern. Maybe something felt off this year. A shift in memory. A change in mood. The house looked different than you remembered. And now you’re wondering: Is this normal aging… or is it time to step in?
You’re not overreacting and you don’t have to figure this out alone.
Join us for a free, expert-led webinar created for people who want straight answers, practical next steps, and reassurance that they’re doing right by the people they love.
This conversation will be moderated by The Charlotte Ledger and features Jennifer Szakaly, founder & CEO of Caregiving Corner—a trusted local resource supporting families through the realities of aging.
Can’t attend live? No problem. We’ll send out the webinar recording to all registered participants.
Meet Jennifer T. Szakaly, MA, CMC, NMG

What We’ll Talk About
How to tell the difference between typical age-related changes and signs that may need attention
When extra support could improve safety, independence, or quality of life
What an Aging Life Care™ Manager does—and how they help families make informed decisions
How to support an aging loved one when you don’t live nearby
What to do next if your gut is telling you it’s time for a conversation
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a thoughtful, real-world discussion focused on helping you feel steadier, more informed, and ready to take the next right step—whatever that looks like for your family.
Who Should Attend
Family members supporting aging parents, partners, or relatives
Adults thinking ahead about their own aging and long-term care needs
Professionals in healthcare, elder law, or financial planning
Anyone who wants to be proactive, prepared, and grounded when it comes to aging
Why Attend?
Because waiting until there’s a crisis makes everything harder.
Because having language, context, and options matters.
Because peace of mind starts with understanding what you’re seeing—and knowing what to do next.
If you’ve been carrying questions in the back of your mind, or felt a quiet sense of urgency after your last family visit, this webinar is for you.
