What Does It Mean to Thrive Where You Live?
Start a Conversation
Each month, we gather local experts to address topics related to safe and healthy senior living. At our learning series, we will share ideas and organizations that can help adults who choose to age in place, as well as exploring options for those inspired to make a change.
Take Control of Your Health
As people age, staying healthy can become a full time job. The old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" has never been truer. Whether it is finding safe ways to exercise, learning about smart home modifications, or lively senior groups to engage with, staying healthy is a huge part of remaining in control of how and where you live. Join our learning series to hear ideas and gather free resources to assist you in remaining healthy and independent.
Hire or DIY
Grand Rapids has some great free resources and low cost options for home repairs and modifications if you know who to call. Are you interested in learning how to do certain things yourself, or even how to find an honest contractor? Our learning series will help you discover the right questions to ask when hiring someone yourself and resources available to help you navigate repairs. Learn where to start -- even on a fixed income.
To Move or Not to Move?
Choosing to move from a home of many years is not just a physical task, it is an emotional one as well. One of the biggest factors for senior citizens not wanting to move is simply about being overwhelmed with the whole process. Our learning series teaches seniors and their families about the many free resources and paid options available to help them start the downsizing process long before they intend to move.
How Much?
How much does your home really cost you? Maybe it's been paid off for years and moving seems financially irresponsible. Are you a senior citizen now paying professionals to do the things you used to do? Think about property taxes, utilities, and deferred repairs that may be looming. Even things like the emotional cost of close neighbors who are no longer there to assist should be considered when evaluating the true cost of staying put. Our learning series will navigate these questions and help you make an informed choice.
Community Living
Today's senior living choices offer a variety of options. Whether you are looking at an individual home, condo, apartment, or thinking of investing in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) , knowing the differences and key factors to consider will be crucial to making a choice you will be be happy with for the long haul. Our learning series will provide the tools and free resources to help you make the decision that is right for you.
