Description
Solo Agers are older adults that are making decisions about their future independently. You might be a solo ager if you are…
– An individual or couple without children
– An individual who never married or had children
– An individual living alone since the divorce or death of a partner
– An individual or couple whose children or relatives live far away or are estranged
It is important to understand solo aging because many older adults fall into this category, and many more will become solo agers in the future. Solo aging can be full of joys and assets, but early planning is crucial to maintain choice, independence, and satisfaction throughout later life. This means planning so that your home, finances, medical team, and social community are set up for aging well. This class will include a panel discussion on legal and financial information that is important for solo agers and will also include information about a safety app for those who live alone.
