Most people don’t start thinking about their housing options until a health event, an uncomfortable family conversation, or a moment of being overwhelmed forces the question. By then, someone else is often already holding the map and choosing the route. This seminar is for adults who want to understand their options before the decision gets made for them. In 60 minutes, we’ll walk through the full landscape of housing choices available to older adults today, including options that most people don’t know about, and the honest tradeoffs of each. No sales pitch. No pressure. Just a clear map and room to think.
