Planning Considerations for
Elder Orphans and Solo Agers

Wednesday, August 11th, 2021
1pm PST on Zoom
Join us for a riveting virtual panel discussion with Sima Kahn, MD of Healthcare Advocacy Partners, and Lisa Mayfield of Aging Wisdom. 

We will discuss who solo agers are, the intricacies and issues of life planning for solo agers, and how to choose a healthcare power of attorney that you can trust with your decisions. 

Planning ahead is essential for the well-being of solo agers, and there is no better time than now to begin the process of managing your own care, choosing your support community, and setting yourself, and those you love, up for success.

Twelve million adults over age 65 live alone.
That is 27% of the population–the highest rate in the world.
​The majority are women.
By age 75, the rate of women living alone rises to 44%.
