Aging in place is an increasingly popular choice for individuals and couples who want to remain connected to their homes, families and communities. Achieving this goal requires thoughtful planning around accessible housing, caregiving, transportation, financial resources and legal tools, such as wills, trusts and powers of attorney.

Join our panel of lawyers and architects for an informative discussion on planning for accessible living as we age, including housing options, home modifications, accessible design, support services, government and industry investments, and current developments in age-friendly communities.

Topics include:

• What aging in place means for individuals and families today
• Wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other legal supports for care and decision-making
• Financial planning for home modifications, assistance and community services
  
• Accessible and universal design for homes, including new layouts and shared spaces
• Accessible housing demand, aging populations and the role of government in supporting age-friendly communities
• Current accessible housing projects and retirement communities
• Practical steps that can help people begin an integrated estate and housing plan
