Milton Council on Aging Solo Aging 5 Part Series: The Unique Needs of Solo Agers
On Wednesday, September 11, the Milton COA will launch a five-part in person series on the Unique Needs of Solo Agers.
Research tells us:
27% of adults aged 60 and older in the U.S. live alone
36% of "Baby Boomers" live in single-person households
30% of respondents to a Pew Research survey with children would prefer not to involve them in their care as they age
Workshops will meet for five sessions from September 11 through November 20, 2024 (9/11, 9/18, 10/9, 10/16, and 11/20) on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Community Room at the Milton COA.
Registration is REQUIRED and open to all.
Topics to be covered during the workshops include:
September 11: The Unique Planning Needs of Solo Agers
September 18: Health Care Decision Making and the Value of Advance Care Planning
October 9: Evaluating, Assessing, and Enhancing Your Support System
October 16: Where You Live Matters: Exploring What the Best Housing Options Are For You
November 20: Bringing It All Together: Developing An Organized Solo Aging Plan
Funding for the program is through a grant from the Massachusetts Councils on Aging and there is no charge to participate. We do ask those who register to make a commitment to attend most of the workshops. The workshop series is open to all.
Participants may be asked to complete anonymous surveys several times during the series. These surveys are designed to gage the effectiveness of the workshops and to ensure that we are meeting your needs.
