Most older adults want to remain in their homes as they age, but much of our existing housing isn’t designed to support that goal. This free session will walk through what it actually takes to age in place successfully and how to begin preparing now to support your needs over time.

Join us for a free, interactive panel discussion with housing design and elder services experts.

As a result of this session, participants will:

Be able to identify their home’s physical and environmental features that may hinder or help with aging in place
Consider potential future physical, cognitive, or social challenges and how they could be addressed or mitigated
Know what resources are available to support aging in place

This session includes a short presentation, a panel discussion, and time for audience Q&A.

Speakers include:
• Kit Topaz, Director of Development KCLT
• Alison Laskay, Occupational Therapist
• Ellen Liu Keller, MSW independent Social Worker & Gerontologist, Senior Wellness, Care & Lifestyles Consultant
• Serina Boisjolie, SHP, Designer, Certified Aging in Place Specialist
