It’s not always a fun topic to think about—but it’s an important one: aging. Planning ahead can reduce stress, minimize reliance on others, and help ensure access to high-quality, personalized options that align with your lifestyle. Join us for a light, interactive conversation about aging in place. We’ll explore emerging trends in technology and housing, along with practical considerations such as advanced planning and how to pay for care. Enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres as we connect in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
The goal of this session is to provide you with a clear, thoughtful framework to guide your planning and help you make informed decisions about aging on your own terms.
