These are all common questions explored in this seminar on money and aging.

Now, as people living well into their 80’s, 90’s and even 100’s, it’s simply not practical to assume one will live in the same place forever. Learn about the many available options for mature adults including independent, assisted, and life care communities. Better to know it before you need it!
