Challenging Choices – Senior Living Options

Have you ever considered downsizing as you approach your seniors’ years, but didn’t know how to proceed? If so, then our two speakers in June will help in answering some of those key questions in the planning process. They are Nelly Cotto of WellRive and Brian Schwatka who will discuss the options of how to best downsize and get ready to either move to a smaller home, or age in place. They will explore issues like: when to start considering moving into a senior living community, what kinds of senior communities are available and how much do they cost??
