Age your Way—Planning for the Future
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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. Listen to this episode to learn more about how to identify goals as a person ages and important considerations for planning for the future.
Speakers: Lakelyn Hogan, PhD, and April Ibarra, MGS.
