Most older adults want to remain in their homes as they grow older and their goal is to be active for as long as possible. Yet for many, their ability to do so will depend upon receiving support from family, friends and the community. This workshop will discuss topics relevant to older adults who want to age in place, including techniques and practices that are successful in other neighborhoods, communities and states.     

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:

• Describe strategies to help maintain independence for an ever-expanding population of older adults;
• Identify the most common fears of aging in place;
• List best practices of partnerships and collaboration to help older adults age well in their homes; and,
• Identify four suggested services developed by ASA’s 2015 Aging in America Conference participants.
