This event is part of the nationwide effort to encourage seniors, recent retirees, and Baby Boomers to be proactive in thinking about their future long-term housing and care needs, and provide them with ideas and information on how to do so. Attendees will join with local experts in learning how to create safe and comfortable environments as they age. There will be information and demonstrations on everything from various creative financing options to home modifications planning, contractor programs and innovative products.

The opening kick-off at 10:00 a.m. will feature Council Member Peter Steinbrueck and Denise Klein, Director of Senior Services.  They will speak to "Promoting Aging in Place" from their various perspectives. Susan Duncan, a locally based international expert on issues relating to "Aging in Place" and member of the National Steering Committee, will moderate the opening event.

Hands-on exhibits and a range of educational forums will be available throughout the day. For example, a panel of homeowners will discuss their decision-making processes in the various stages of "aging in place."
