Nearly 80 percent of adults ages 50 and older want to remain in their current homes as they age, according to AARP. Aging in place is often more affordable than transitioning to a community care setting and allows someone to retain independence in a comfortable, familiar setting. However, aging in place isn’t right for everyone. It requires careful planning, research, and coordination. Join this webinar to learn more about how to identify goals as a person ages and important considerations for planning for the future.

Participants in this webinar will be able to:

• Understand how to plan for the future to achieve aging goals
• Identify how to age in place based on existing health needs and potential future needs
• Identify potential hazards in the home that could prevent aging in place
• Describe the many resources available to support aging in place and options for when it is no longer safe to live at home
