A Conversation That Touches Every Family

Explore elder care and family challenges with featured novelist Brian Morton, author of Tasha: A Son’s Memoir. Raised in Teaneck and later caring for his mother here, Morton writes with honesty and wit about the emotional and practical realities of supporting an aging parent, finding moments of humor amid uncertainty, and confronting the gaps in America’s elder care system.

This special program, moderated by author Ellen Rand, invites caregivers, families, professionals, and community members into an important conversation about care, dignity, aging, and connection.

Whether you are currently caregiving, have cared for a loved one, or simply want to better understand the realities facing older adults and families today, this evening offers insight, compassion, and community.

*This event is intentionally free and open to the public because conversations around caregiving, aging, and family support should be accessible to everyone.
