Eldercare Planning Day is a national awareness day that encourages individuals and families to start conversations about aging, care, and future needs, before decisions are forced by crisis.

Many people feel unsure about where to begin when considering aging-related planning. This day exists to provide a gentle, accessible starting point and to highlight that support is available.

Eldercare Planning Day is not about having everything figured out.It’s about starting earlier, with less stress and more clarity.

Simple steps to take on Eldercare Planning Day

You don’t need to make big decisions today.
Small, thoughtful steps can reduce uncertainty and make future conversations easier.
Start a Conversation

Choose a calm moment to talk, not during a health scare or emergency. Focus on listening and understanding what matters most.

Keep It Values-Focused

You don’t need to discuss details or logistics. Talking about preferences, concerns, and priorities is enough for now.

Write Down Key Thoughts

Noticing patterns, questions, or worries helps create clarity and prepares you for future planning.

Know That Support Exists

Eldercare planning doesn’t mean doing everything yourself. Eldercare Planners help families understand options and navigate next steps when they’re ready.
