If you're very busy, all the more reason to join a program that will save you time and stress by helping you figure out what's better to do, faster. 

The program is designed for busy people. 

In creating the course, I left out the filler information and organized it so you can get to the information you need now. 

If you opt for Q&A calls: all coaching calls are recorded, so if you can’t make it, you can download the audios and listen on-the-go.

And if you've opt for the online community: the community is here when you need it. Log in to catch up when you have time.

You can keep the Helping Older Parents program like you would AAA insurance: so when a dilemma comes up, you know you can access an expert quickly.

Our Helping Older Parents online group is hosted on Mighty Networks, a well-regarded platform designed to host online communities without the noise, distractions, and advertising that is common on Facebook.

Mighty Networks also allows users more options and privacy in regards to how they display their name. So you won't have to share your full name in our community unless you want to. This enables us to offer a safe and private space in which you can share whatever is on your mind or is going on with your family.

That's ok! We've designed our program to accommodate the fact that different participants have different levels of comfort sharing. Some like to just listen to the calls, or read about others in the online group. They benefit without ever sharing what they feel is private. 

And while some of our outgoing, unreserved members would love to have in-person meetups (they create such bonds), that’s not everyone’s style. 

You don’t even have to use your real name in the membership group.

There is a lot of overlap between the needs of people concerned about aging parents and those caring for an aging spouse. And, there tend to be some different issues as well. This particular program is designed for people helping an older parent. If you are caring for an older spouse or partner, you can join, just bear in mind that it may not feel like an ideal fit.

Thank you for your interest in this  program! At this time we will only be accepting members who are caring for an older parent or other close older relative. If you're interesting in getting support and information related to your own aging journey, please stay tuned and continue to follow Better Health While Aging. Dr. Kernisan has plans to eventually create programs that support older adults as well.

Geriatrics is a medical specialty. A geriatrician is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who has specialized in the healthcare of older adults. 

In comparison, gerontology is a social science discipline focused on aging. A gerontologist has usually done either masters-level or doctorate-level studies related to aging, but is not a trained healthcare professional.

Because the wellbeing of older adults is about much more than addressing health issues, I’ve brought on a team of other non-physician experts to help support our community. Our geriatric care managers have backgrounds in social work and family therapy, and we're hoping to add more experts soon.

We offer a 30-day risk free guarantee, so your payment upon joining the membership is refundable for the first 30 days. After 30 days, you can cancel at any time, to ensure you are not billed again at the end of each 3-month membership quarter. You will retain access to all membership benefits until the end of the quarter.

Yes! For each sibling paying for a quarterly membership, we can offer a 50% off discount for up to two additional siblings or family members.

To take advantage of this plan, each family member should purchase a quarterly membership at the listed price, and then we will issue partial refunds to the additional family members once the refund window has ended.

If you have questions, just let us know at [email protected].

Our online group offers much more than peer-support. In particular, this is the ONLY online community that also features the guidance of a geriatrician such as Dr. Kernisan, as well as support from geriatric care managers and other eldercare experts.

Furthermore, most free online support groups rely on advertising to finance the group. Our online group is ad-free, so that you can focus on getting the support and guidance that you need.
