Solo Aging: Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old?
Aging solo? You’re not alone. According to the Journals of Gerontology, “one in three Baby Boomers falls into the category of separated, divorced, widowed, or never married.” Millennials are also following this trend. Committed couples aren’t out of the woods when one partner outlives the other. Adding fuel to the fire is the care worker crisis and the decline in the number of people available to provide in-home care, including family members. Longevity, singledom, and isolation is a recipe for disaster.
Upbeat, educational, and highly interactive, this presentation offers attendees strategies to plan now to safeguard their quality of life as they journey toward old age.
Target Audience:
- Couples
- Solo Agers
- Business Referral Sources
Highlights:
- Significance of the Longevity Revolution

- Age-in-Place Elephants in the Room
