Aging rarely arrives all at once. For many families, the realization comes quietly: a holiday visit that feels a little different, a parent who seems less steady, less engaged, or less organized than before.
In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, we share a recording of a Jan. 14, 2026, webinar produced in partnership with Caregiving Corner, focused on how families can recognize meaningful changes in aging adults and respond thoughtfully without panic, judgment or damaging trust. Ledger executive editor Tony Mecia is joined by Jennifer Szakaly, founder and CEO of Caregiving Corner, for a wide-ranging, practical conversation that blends medical insight, real-world caregiving experience and audience questions from families navigating these decisions in real time.
