Our Aging With Confidence educational programs are usually one time workshops/presentations that help seniors to navigate the challenges that come with aging. Topics of discussion might include: financial planning, end-of-life planning, health and wellness, caregiving, home modifications and aging in place, travel, technology, and more.

End of life planning, though a difficult topic, is one that must be addressed to make things easier on those you leave behind. Who has keys to your house? What plans are in place for your pets? What are your passwords for social media, your phone and other devices? This program will lead you in what questions to start asking about end of life care and your personal wishes, and how important it is to have these wishes in writing. You will leave with a basic funeral planning guide and a better understanding of why you should plan ahead.
