Long-Term Care Planning for Aging Parents: What Every Family Caregiver Should Know
October 1, 2026 at 2 p.m. ET
Caring for an aging parent or loved one can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Join experts from Caregiver Action Network and CareScout, a Genworth company, for a free educational webinar exploring the essential conversations and planning strategies every family caregiver should know.
Whether you’re providing care from across the country or just beginning to notice changes in a loved one’s needs, this webinar will help you prepare for the road ahead. Learn how to start “the talk” about aging and future care, navigate the challenges of long-distance caregiving, evaluate long-term care options, and build a personalized care plan that supports your loved one’s health, independence, and quality of life.
Our caregiving and long-term care experts will share practical guidance, trusted resources, and actionable tips to help families make informed decisions with greater confidence. The discussion will also explore how to evaluate in-home care services, compare senior living options—including independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities—and determine which care solutions may best fit your loved one’s needs, preferences, and budget.
