Forum: Aging in Place

Keweenaw Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (KUUF) members and retired Michigan Tech professors, Craig Waddell and Vicky Bergvall, will lead a panel discussion on the various considerations for ‘Aging in Place.’  A 2021 AARP survey found that “77 percent of adults 50 and older want to remain in their homes for the long term, i.e. aging in place — a number that has been consistent for more than a decade.”  But are seniors adequately prepared for the challenges and considerations?

Because aging in place is a multifaceted issue, the following KUUF members will speak briefly from their own experience on the following topics:

  • Jenn Donovan: Aging in place in your own home.
  • Jan Dalquist: Aging in place in a senior community.
  • Barbara Wheeler: Helping someone else who wants to age in place.
  • Sandra Loy: Aging in place from the perspective of a first responder.
  • Horst Schmidt: Is there a role for government(s) in aging in place?

All are invited to attend the forum which will be presented via Zoom only.
