Our PCV Women‘s Group, with guided discussion on a variety of topics based on the book The Inner Work of Age: Starting from Role to Soul by Connie Zweig, PhD., meets at the Potomac Library once a month, with attendance at the group‘s monthly meetings free and open to all.

This new offering from PCV is for individuals navigating aging without traditional family support. It offers a welcoming, discussion-based format to help create a strong community of support for solo agers.

Are you considering a transition to a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) at some point in the future? It’s a significant life decision—one that can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you’ve already begun visiting communities or the idea is simply in the back of your mind, having clear, reliable information can make the process far less daunting. Chevy Chase At Home will host financial planner and retirement expert Alex Seleznev, Founder & Financial Planner, Capital Squared Financial, for an informative and thoughtful discussion designed to help you navigate this important choice. Drawing on both professional expertise and real-life examples, Alex will explore why many older adults consider transitioning to a CCRC and what distinguishes the various types of communities available. He will also demystify the financial side of the decision, including the differences between buy-in and rental models and the key factors to weigh when evaluating costs. Planning ahead is essential, and this session will offer practical guidance on how to prepare for a potential move. Attendees will learn when to begin their research, how to organize finances effectively, and how to avoid some of the most common—and costly—mistakes people make when considering a transition of this kind. A central part of the conversation will focus on comparing the costs and benefits of remaining at home versus moving to a CCRC. While financial considerations are certainly important, the discussion will also highlight non-financial factors, including peace of mind, access to care, and opportunities for social connection. Through real-life examples, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how others have approached this decision and what has contributed to successful transitions.

Join Jennifer Crawley, deputy secretary of the Maryland Department of Aging, to learn more about what Maryland is doing to ensure equal access to coordinated care, services, and social determinants that enable healthy longevity, we can become a state where all Marylanders lead healthy, financially secure, socially connected, and purposeful lives. Older adults offer tremendous value to the Maryland landscape. They fuel local economies, provide support for families, and contribute to the community in many ways. But how long and how well Marylanders live depends largely on their ZIP code. Recognizing the need to prepare for a more equitable future for the 100-year life expectancy, Governor Moore signed an executive order mandating the development of Longevity Ready Maryland (LRM), a ten-year multisector plan for aging to address the challenges and maximize the benefits and opportunities of an aging society.
