Conversations Live: Aging in Place

There are roughly 46 million adults age 65 and older in the U.S. Yet while life expectancy has increased and the aging population has grown, nursing home use has been on the decline. What does it mean to age in place? What care options are available? How do you make a home elder-friendly? Our guests will provide answers to these questions and more.
