PAAH PROGRAMS 2026
Philipstown Aging At Home announces its new season of programs aimed at creating community among seniors. Whether it’s for shared interests like reading or crafting or just getting together to talk over concerns, we can all benefit by getting out of our houses and being with friends – old and new. Email us at hope.t.scott@gmail.com, and tell us what you're interested in and any questions you might have. We appreciate your partnership!
PAAH Offers First Thursdays at the Desmond-Fish Library: Thursday, November 5: Wills, Trusts, & Power of Attorney
Navigating end of life planning can be confusing and overwhelming. Learn more about the process and everything you need to know about wills, trusts, and power of attorney with Attorney at Law Elizabeth M. Shanahan. This presentation will clarify the legal processes of end of life planning, and there will be a Q&A at the end for questions. Please register: https://desmondfishlibrary.org/event/wills-trusts-paah/

Talk and Talk
Talk and TalkThis is a freewheeling and relaxed chat group where we talk like friends do - no rules, no set topics, no real taboos! This is a great setting for new arrivals to our community; a place where questions can be asked and often answered by our neighbors. And it’s also a space where we can have a good chat about whatever is going on in our lives and in the world. We meet at 2:30 until 4pm every Friday. Details on location available on registration. If interested, email hope.t.scott@gmail.com
Caregivers Group A
A group of seniors who are caring for a spouse suffering from cognitive decline. While we each have unique experiences, we listen to each other and offer support and helpful information where we can. We meet at 2pm every Friday at the Desmond Fish Public Library. If interested, email hope.t.scott@gmail.com.
General Loss Group
This group is for those who are grieving the loss of someone. This is a space where grief is witnessed and not rushed and provides participants with compassionate, non-judgmental support. Group members are not alone in their grief journey. For more information, contact Nancy Witt, NWitt@optimum.net.
