Caring for the Caregiver Webinar Series

Overview

Are you a family caregiver living in Massachusetts? Your support and care may include managing medications, getting to a doctor’s appointment, helping with groceries, or organizing finances. 

Caregiving is a journey. You may just be starting to create a care plan, or already providing full-time care. Either way, caregiving is an emotional and physical time commitment, and the Executive Office of Aging & Independence is here to be your partner in managing any emotional, physical, and/or financial stress that can come from caring for a loved one.  

The Agency partners with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative to bring you the Caring for the Caregiver webinar series. This virtual series connects family caregivers in Massachusetts with information and resources regarding their caregiver responsibilities, as well as tips to care for themselves. Each webinar focuses on a different aspect of caregiving, such as self-care for caregivers and navigating family dynamics. 

The Caring for the Caregiver webinar series brings simple, practical solutions to family caregivers throughout Massachusetts.

Upcoming Webinars

Managing Money as a Caregiver

Wednesday, September 16, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 PM EST

Caregiving can involve more than helping with health care, meals, transportation, or appointments. You may also find yourself helping a loved one with bills, financial accounts, benefits, or other money matters.

This can raise important questions: What can I help with? When do I need legal authority? What responsibilities do I have when managing someone else’s money? It is also important to plan ahead and consider who you would trust to help manage your own finances if needed.

In this webinar, Lisa Schifferle from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Office for Older Americans will explore both sides of financial caregiving: helping manage a loved one’s finances responsibly and planning for your own future needs. Participants will learn about informal options such as conversation partners, trusted contacts, and convenience accounts, as well as formal arrangements including powers of attorney, guardians or conservators, trustees, and government fiduciaries.

The session will also cover key responsibilities when managing someone else’s money, including acting in their best interest, managing money and property carefully, keeping finances separate, and maintaining good records.
