Successfully aging in place requires planning and awareness

This area is home to The Third Act, a group of independent professionals who focus on those 60 and older and provide products and services that will help them successfully age in place throughout their retirement years.

They will be offering three upcoming seminars, where several subject matter experts will present ways to successfully age in place. Among the topics to be discussed: adaptive strategies, 10 common estate planning mistakes, senior rightsizing, preparing for a long-term event, how do you know it is time for in-home care, real estate strategies when downsizing, financial organization, Medicare options, and end-of-life planning.
