The world is changing at a rapid pace and if you don’t keep up, you’ll be left behind. This means flexing the muscles of adaptability, resilience, and curiosity. Gone are the days when elder family members were the only sources of knowledge, history, and wisdom. The internet has taken over. As a result, those currently tasked with writing the narrative about getting older are young, mis-informed, and often simply winging it!
More and more people are choosing to downsize, “rightsize”, or otherwise simplify their lives. This decision can come after retirement by moving to retirement communities. The decision about which community is the best fit isn’t always easy to make.
On March 16th, Mitzi Beach joined us for this special Empowered Senior Seminar Event. Mitzi discussed her downsizing move experience from Wichita to Ohio and her experiences over the last two years since making this big transitional move.
Are you alone? Anticipate aging alone at some point? Or just feel “alone” sometimes? Are you wondering how to support a friend or loved one? In September’s Empowered Senior Series we hear from experts on how to navigate successfully through a myriad of complex issues.
A diagnosis of dementia or increasing problems with memory loss often result in a flurry of emotions, multiple complex questions, and the making of both short and longterm plans. One of the biggest questions tends to be how long can (or should) I live at home?
For some, downsizing (or rightsizing) might mean designing and building a customized “forever” home. Learning how and what it means to create a home designed for long term care is important.
You KNOW what your ideal plan is for the future, right? Got a “Plan B mapped out, just in case life throws you a curveball? Have you communicated your back up plans to those that need to know… your loved ones and friends?
