Aging is a universal journey, yet many people feel unprepared for the transitions it brings. This spring, Piedmont Adult School will offer Stages to Aging, a series designed to provide clear guidance, practical insight, and confidence as adults plan for their own aging or support loved ones.
Participants will explore the five stages of aging — from self-sufficiency and interdependence to dependency, crisis management, and end-of-life planning. The series focuses on understanding available services, learning how to access resources, and making informed decisions at every stage of life.
Each class meeting will feature an industry expert addressing a specific aging-related topic.
The January–February and March sessions cover different subject matter, allowing participants to benefit from taking one session or both. (detailed content information provided on the website.)
The course is taught by Jennise Mendoza, founder of STAGES for Life, who has worked with older adults for more than 17 years. Her background as a professional organizer, bookkeeper, legal assistant for a Social Security Disability law firm, and insurance professional gives her a well-rounded understanding of the practical and emotional challenges older adults face. Her presentations educate and empower participants as they navigate the aging process.
