Elders Living At Home Longer Presentation May 21

Staying independent in old age, with a little help, is the topic of a free public presentation the afternoon of May 21 at the Backus Community Center sponsored by Koochiching Aging Options.

Two presentations will be offered. Cindy Conkins of the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging will talk about ways to increase your chances of being able to remain at home as you age. A second presentation by Shantel Jaszcak and Becky Voller of Consumer Directions, a fiscal support entity, will introduce the concept of enlisting a service agency to help with hiring of trusted individuals to support extended life at home.

“Elders Living at Home Longer: With a Little Help” will be held at Backus Community Center at 900 Fifth Street in the Falls. Registration begins at 1 p.m. for the 1:30 program.
