Symposium on Aging Planned

Thu, Feb 17, 2011

 "A Symposium on Aging in the Community" will discuss issues for older adults, including those who are maintaining independent residences and managing at home, and those who are undergoing residential transitions.
It will be held March 3 at 4:30 p.m. in the third floor event room of the Colgate Bookstore. The panelists include Meika Loe from Colgate, Janet Wilmoth from Syracuse University, and Anna Marie Vaughan of Madison County Office for the Aging.
 
Loe's research includes working with Upstate New York residents and their creative strategies for aging at home. Wilmoth will discuss her work on residential transitions, including how common it is to move, local vs. long distance moves, reasons for moving, and post-move adjustments. Vaughan will address the specific services available in the community for older adults aging in place and experiencing transitions.
 
This event is free and no reservations are necessary.
