One of the keys to living a successful life is who we surround ourselves with. Success is measured in many ways including health, wealth, family, relationships and support to name just a few. It has been said that the difference between Illness and Wellness is ‘I’ versus ‘We’.

Each of us need others in our lives, our “We”, in order to live our best lives.

On this recorded webinar, panelists will share who they believe are some of the people we should have on our team as we age, our “We”.

Losing a lifelong partner who shared in life’s many responsibilities such as finances, home maintenance, cooking or arranging social activities can leave a giant void.

Inevitably, most of us must one day face the reality of going from “We” to “Me”.

During this months 90 minute webinar, we looked at what “We” can do to be better prepared and the resources and help available to those who have expectantly or unexpectedly become a “Me”.

As we age, many of us become concerned about if and how we or a loved one may be affected by the aging brain.

A diagnosis of dementia or increasing problems with memory loss often results in a flurry of emotions, multiple complex questions, and the making of both short and long term plans.

One of the biggest questions tends to be how long can (or should) I live at home?

Couples struggle to agree on whether to remain in place or relocate, when and who to hire for support, and how to have conversations with others about their plans.

During this recently recorded 90 minute panel event featuring local experts, we gained important insights into these questions and more.
