Panel Conversation: Aging in Place- Program Models and Community Resources: Friday, Sept. 30, 2-3 p.m. (Virtual)
Most of us want to age in place and remain in our community, but as we get older, the odds of becoming more dependent and socially isolated are higher. Therefore, to age in place, it is important to have different services and supports to help us meet our basic daily and health needs. In this panel conversation, we will explore different community models that promote social connection, health, quality of life, and in turn, aging in place. Online Registration or call 703-324-5484.

Medicare 101: Wednesday, Oct. 5, 12-1 p.m. (Virtual)

Alleviation of loneliness/isolation.
Opportunity to chat with a volunteer about lighthearted topics as well as share journeys/stories.
Development of a supportive relationship with a volunteer.
Provision of an informal listening ear/sounding board.
