Solo Seniors: How to Create a Strong and Reliable Support System
In this session, Joan Garbow, Aging Life Care Director, explores how individuals aging without a built-in support system can remain independent, protected, and in control through proactive planning. The presentation reframes aging support as something that can be intentionally designed, rather than assumed, long before a crisis occurs.
Attendees learn why solo aging requires unique considerations across health, finances, and decision-making. We also discuss how small, early steps can significantly reduce risk over time. With real-world insights and practical guidance, this session empowers individuals to build reliable support systems that evolve as their needs change.
In this session, you gain insights into:
- How aging without a default advocate increases risk, but planning can preserve independence and choice.
- Why support works best when it’s built around roles (medical, financial, emotional, crisis), not reliance on one person.
- Why community connections and professional relationships are critical pillars of a strong, resilient aging plan.
