Is it time to rethink our vision of long-term-care?

Elders around the country are proactively creating innovative ways—such as Villages, cohousing, affinity groups and house-sharing— to have social support and community while maintaining independence.

Please plan to join Beth Baker, author of a new book, With a Little Help from Our Friends: Creating Community as We Grow Older, to explore whether new models for “aging in community” can allow elders to remain in their chosen communities throughout their lives.
