How can a senior live independently as long as possible? When is it time for someone to have in-home help? What are the differences between nursing homes, retirement communities and assisted living facilities? This seminar answers these questions and many others.

• Assess an older adult’s ability to live independently
• Evaluate various housing options
• Deal with the emotional upheaval when a loved one can no longer live at home
