Planned Senior Moments: A Guide to Aging at Home with Confidence is a collaborative book created to help families plan ahead for one of life’s most important transitions — helping loved ones age safely, comfortably, and with purpose. Led by editor Stephanie Russell, RN, BSN, the book gathers experts from across the senior-care community to share practical advice, heartfelt stories, and professional insight for families navigating aging at home. David Endre, owner of Home Matters Caregiving, is a contributor, providing valuable insight on senior care.
The contributors represent a wide range of disciplines — from home-care leaders and care managers to palliative-care clinicians, real-estate and downsizing professionals, home-safety specialists, and elder-law advisors. Together, they offer a 360-degree look at what it means to plan well, live independently, and age with dignity and foresight.
Topics include:
• Building proactive care plans before emergencies occur
• Navigating palliative and hospice support
• Making homes safer and more adaptable for aging adults
• Managing finances, legal documents, and long-term plans
• Preventing caregiver burnout and balancing family roles
• Supporting emotional health, connection, and community engagement
The book’s tone is warm, practical, and reassuring — designed for adult children and families who want to be prepared, not panicked. Each chapter gives readers tools to reduce uncertainty and replace last-minute decisions with thoughtful planning — helping families create more calm, connected, and confident senior years.
