Aging In Place vs Moving: How To Evaluate Your Home & Make a Plan For The Future
Class | Registration opens Sunday, August 16, 2026 2:00 PM
Participants learn to evaluate their current living environment, identify potential safety concerns, and consider modifications that support long-term independence. Presenters Alison and Jason Van Hecke provide guidance on when staying in place is feasible and when relocating may better meet evolving needs.
Through a clear and practical framework, participants explore key decision factors, including lifestyle preferences, health considerations, and financial planning. The session also highlights local resources and strategies for creating a proactive plan.
The program equips participants with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions aligned with their personal priorities and timeline.
