HOW DO YOU SEE YOURSELF GROWING OLD?
If you have asked yourself this question and would like to learn about some creative and, surprisingly, affordable models of living, please plan to join us!
Elders around the country are proactively creating innovative wayssuch as Villages, co-housing, affinity groups, and house-sharing to have social support and community while maintaining independence.
Beth Baker, author of a new book, "With a Little Help from Our Friends: Creating Community as We Grow Older", will explore whether new models for "aging in community" can allow Elders to remain in their chosen communities throughout their lives.
Who should attend: Anyone who has asked:
- Would I like to grow old in my own home?
- Would I like to live in an intentional community?
- Would I prefer to live among people my age as I grow older?
- Is living among children important to me?
- Would I like to try something completely different?
