SUMMARY:Solo Agers Group: Capacity and Advance Care Planning
DESCRIPTION:Members & guests: free! \nPlanning for the future is vital for everyone\, but Solo Agers can face unique challenges that play an important role in developing an advance care plan. During this special interactive presentation from Ellen Cushing\, Staff Attorney with CJE SeniorLife’s Irving H. and Jane W. Goldberg Legal Services\, attendees will learn about the role capacity plays in advance care planning and what to consider to best ensure your wishes are respected. We’ll discuss questions like: what is capacity and how is it determined? How can I prepare to ensure important decisions about my health and finances are based on my wishes\, even if I no longer have the capacity to make them? What should I do if I don’t have trusted family or friends who can serve as my POA? \nNone of us know exactly what the future holds\, but understanding what decisions you can make now can you help you feel more empowered to navigate possible changes and challenges down the road. \nPresenter Bio: \nEllen Cushing is a Staff Attorney with CJE SeniorLife’s Irving H. and Jane W. Goldberg Legal Services. She works with older adults on a variety of legal issues with a focus on advance care planning. Ellen counsels clients about legal documents that allow individuals to make their wishes known and choose who they trust to assist them with medical or financial decisions if needed in the future. Goldberg Legal Services is part of CJE SeniorLife’s commitment to helping older adults access the resources and support they need to age with dignity\, purpose\, and connection.

SUMMARY:The Sorting Space
DESCRIPTION:This event is now full\, please email info@thevillagechicago.org to join the waitlist. Thank you. \nThis monthly group creates a supportive community where we can talk openly about our challenges with “stuff”. \nNavigating your “stuff” can feel overwhelming\, but you don’t have to do it alone. Through discussion\, shared experiences\, and a peer accountability system you’ll gain the encouragement and motivation to take meaningful steps toward simplifying your home. It’s also a place to share ideas and learn about helpful resources along the way. \nWhether you’re actively planning a future move\, just want to get your home in order\, or simply desire a less cluttered life\, this group meets you where you are. Without pressure or judgement\, The Sorting Space provides community\, guidance\, and one manageable step at a time. \nThis group might be a perfect fit for you if… \nYou look around areas of your home and think\, “I really need to deal with all this…”\nYou want to be prepared “just in case” for yourself or your family.\nYour past decluttering efforts have stalled without accountability.\nYou’re thinking about downsizing or moving\, whether in a couple years or “someday.”\nDecisions about belongings feel emotionally complicated or overwhelming. \nWhat you’ll gain: \nA clear\, manageable path forward \nBy breaking the process down into manageable steps\, an overwhelming project becomes achievable. You’ll learn to take things one room\, category\, and decision at a time\, to build momentum without burning out. \nMethods for thoughtful decision making\nWe’ll explore practical frameworks for deciding what to keep\, donate\, sell\, or pass along to loved ones\, so you can move forward with confidence\, not regret. \nCommunity and Accountability\nPeer accountability makes all the difference. Group members will set monthly intentions\, share progress\, and cheer each other on. Tackling challenges and celebrating successes together can even make the process fun! Knowing others are doing the work alongside you provides solidarity\, motivation\, and encouragement to keep going. \nEmotional support\nOur belongings can carry all sorts of memories\, grief\, or feel like a part of our identity. The Sorting Space is a safe place to honor those feelings while continuing to make progress alongside others who truly understand.\nProfessional Guidance \nEach session features professional insights and real-world strategies for navigating family conversations\, logistical snags\, or mental blocks that are keeping you from reaching your goals. \nAbout our Facilitator \nMarnie Dawson is the owner of Dawson Relocation Services serving the Chicagoland area. Her small but mighty team has been helping seniors and their families with the downsizing and moving process since 2008. She is an active member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) and she is a board member of the Illinois Continuity of Care Organization.
