Bring Us Your Worries- What Keeps You Up at Night?

Bring Us Your Worries- What Keeps You Up at Night?

Caring for an aging parent or loved one can bring questions,uncertainty, and concerns that are not always easy to navigate alone. Sometimes the biggest challenge is simply knowing who to ask or where to turn. This interactive ACAP program invites attendees to bring their worries, questions, and real-life caregiving concerns to several local experts specializing in a variety of services for the senior community. Rather than focusing on a single topic, the evening will create an open space for attendees to share the issues that are keeping them up at night — from navigating care and difficult family decisions to safety, finances, communication, healthcare, living arrangements, caregiver stress, and planning for the future. ACAP leadership will be available to offer practical guidance, resources, perspectives, and ideas to attendees in a private setting, helping families feel more informed and supported.

Who We Are

Welcome to the ACAP SECT–River Valley Chapter!

We are a collective of senior care experts, aging services professionals, advocates, and trusted professionals dedicated to supporting older adults and the adult children who love and care for them.

Many in the Sandwich Generation, caring for aging parents while also managing children, family, careers, and the many responsibilities of everyday life, find themselves feeling confused, overwhelmed, and alone as they navigate the complex and often uncharted territory of caregiving.

Our mission is to provide free community, education, and support for these adult children and all who care for them, empowering them with trusted information, practical guidance, and the opportunity to connect with others who truly understand what they are going through.

Topics we will explore include healthcare concerns, financial planning, legal preparation, home care, nutrition, living with joy, and many other aspects of aging and caregiving.

Together, we help families feel less alone and more confident as they navigate the decisions ahead.  We look forward to seeing you!
