Support, Resources, and Community for Caregivers of Aging Loved Ones
A Co-Ed Support Community for Adults Navigating Elder Care
You are not alone. Caring for aging parents often feels isolating, overwhelming, and full of unseen emotional weight. Yet alongside the challenges, there is deep love, learning, and purpose if we don’t walk it alone. CC exists to give caregivers a place to be heard, supported, and strengthened as you care for others—and yourself.
As a member of CC, you’ll join a closed-circle cohort that meets regularly, framed by expert guidance and peer witness. You’ll gain insights, strategies, and relationships that ease the burden and amplify resilience.
Who It’s For
- Adults currently caring for aging loved ones
- Those anticipating eldercare responsibilities soon
- Anyone seeking clarity, tools, or shared experience in this complex role
What You Get as a Member
Monthly Sessions (60 minutes)
- 1st half of each session (cadence TBD) will start out with a guest speaker (e.g. geriatric specialists, palliative care doctors, elder law attorneys, death doulas) bringing insight, tools, and clarity around the medical, legal, and emotional terrain of elder care.
- The 2nd half of the meeting is reserved for connection amongst the group to share stories, ask for advice, or simply be heard.
- All calls will be recorded and distributed to the CC
Resource Library & Tools
- Access checklists conversation guides, legal/financial templates, self-care exercises, and curated readings to support you in your caregiving journey.
Peer Support & Accountability
- CC fosters a caring and confidential environment where you can bring your questions, breakthroughs, frustrations—and receive reflection, encouragement, and accountability.
Topics We’ll Explore
- Caregiver burnout & emotional regulation
- Navigating family conflict with clarity and compassion
- Medical decision-making & aging in place
- Housing transitions & long-term care options
- Financial planning, insurance, and elder law
Why CC?
- Because elder care is often treated as a private struggle—and few resources address the emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions of it.
- Because caregivers deserve more than crisis tips—they deserve ongoing support, wisdom, and community.
- Because circles, trusted voices, and shared stories transform isolation into resilience.
