Attend an Aging-in-Place Open Forum in the Berkshires

The Berkshire Regional Planning Commission's recent Aging Survey, as part of its Age-Friendly Berkshire work, found that 98 percent of older adults thought it was important to age independently in their own homes.

As part of the Berkshires' Age-Friendly work, you are invited to attend an upcoming open forum.

• Discuss barriers to aging in your home and community, and potential solutions
• Offer suggestions and tips to help create a regional action plan for aging
• Learn about other efforts to support older adults in the Berkshires

 

Everyone interested in aging-in-place is welcome to attend.
