Aging in Place: Temporary Fixes and Permanent Solutions

For many older adults, their current home is near friends and family, doctors, and familiar landmarks – and may be more or less suited for aging-in-place as they age. But most homes can still be improved to ensure safety and to minimize risk of falls or other injuries—all things that will keep the homeowner healthy and living independently for as long as possible.

Join Jill Kearney, certified Aging-In-Place specialist, as she helps attendees analyze the pluses and minuses of their current homes, what causes safety hazards, ways to improve (lighting, bathrooms, reach, etc), and capital improvements they might need to consider. She also covers how senior living communities are uniquely designed to address these physical issues, but also the mental, emotional and spiritual needs of older adults so they can age-in-place happily for the rest of their lives.

This series is free and open to the public. We ask that you RSVP to Lisa McCartin at 610-754-7878 ext. 1001 or lmccartin@frederickliving.org to reserve your seat.

A Six-Week Series on Planning for Retirement, Downsizing & Managed Moves

Taking Control and Living Your Dream: The Power of a Plan

This seminar addresses the question: Do you have a plan for a joyful retirement? Why are Americans notoriously bad at planning? Why we delay and the benefits of making a plan early. We then address the fact that everyone’s dream is different. We’re different. The amenities offered by different residential communities are different.

Jill will address common decisions that have to be made regarding what kind of interior spaces you prefer. And we cover the HOW of getting there… how to plan furnishings when you’re moving to a SMALLER space for the first time. How to decide what to keep and what to do with what’s left over (when the dumpster is not your preferred method) and how a managed move is so much better than the chaos of a traditional move. It all wraps up with the question, “Are you ready to formalize a plan?”

This series is free and open to the public. We ask that you RSVP to Lisa McCartin at 610-754-7878 ext. 1001 or lmccartin@frederickliving.org to reserve your seat.
