Most people want to stay in their own home as they get older, but the truth is, it takes more than just good intentions to make that happen.

Staying independent in the place you love requires planning, honest reflection, and a willingness to take action—before challenges arise.

In this seminar, we’re tackling three critical parts of the conversation:

• The Hard Truths—Realities of growing older that many people overlook or avoid.
• Current Solutions—Practical strategies, resources, and people who can help.
• Many Paths—How to create a plan that works for you.

Unlike other programs that only talk about solutions, we start with the truths most people ignore. Because without understanding the realities—changing health, evolving family dynamics, financial considerations, and the risks of social isolation—no strategy will matter.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to identify and address physical challenges in your home.
• Why creating a “Plan B” is essential—even if you intend to stay put.
• Strategies for staying physically strong and socially connected.
• The role of professionals like occupational therapists, attorneys, and home care providers.
• How to determine “the right time” for change based on clear, observable criteria—not emotions.

This seminar will give you actionable steps to prepare your home, your life, and your family for staying independent and living where you want to live. Because the truth is: staying put takes planning.

Most of us will need some type of help as we age, but the truth is there are many misconceptions about what “in-home health” really means. In fact, most services today are more comprehensive than ever before.

• The types of services available and when to access them.
• Costs — and what various benefit plans cover
• The pros and cons of agencies and privately hired caregivers

Understanding your options for in-home support before you need it is key to making confident decisions later.
