Michelle Chaperon is the founder of Carers’ Circle - caring for ageing parents, a resource to help the children of ageing parents navigate their way through this complicated time. As a daughter of ageing parents herself, Michelle started the website to help others in the same situation. It’s often the children of ageing parents that need to help their parents make decisions, or even make the decisions for them – all in line with their wishes of course. She wants to help people to make informed choices. She believes in positive ageing and believes that by helping the children of ageing parents, she will help the elderly live happier and healthy lives. In addition to being an advocate for the children of ageing parents, and the other hats she wears as sister, friend, wife, mother, and active community member, Michelle is a corporate affairs and marketing professional with more than 20 years experience in communications and marketing roles across the property, finance and technology sectors.
