Due to the changing demographics in the United States\, it is estimated that 20-30% of the population over the age of 65 live alone and will age alone. The strict definition of a solo ager or elder orphan is someone who lives alone\, has no children\, and does not have a life partner. But a broader definition of solo aging highlights the reality that we are ALL at risk of “going solo” due to circumstances—the death of a spouse or partner\, a divorce\, or geographic isolation from family and friends. The consequences of aging alone are numerous and extensive: a lower quality of life\, a shorter life expectancy\, complications in the caregiving journey\, and physical isolation leading to an enhanced sense of loneliness. So\, how can we proactively reinforce and expand our social support systems to avoid the negative consequences of aging solo? The program is FREE. Registration is REQUIRED.

Virtual Lunch & Learn with Jane Barton DESCRIPTION:Colorado Lunch and Learn Virtual Event\n\n\nCalled to Care – Are You Ready? \nCaregiving is a universal concern. We will all serve as caregivers numerous times over the course of a lifetime. And\, we will all need care at some point in time. So\, there are some questions worthy of consideration. When\, not if\, you are called to companion a friend\, family member\, or client challenged by aging and/or illness\, how will you respond? Will you (must you) assume full responsibility of care? Or\, are you able and/or willing to share the responsibilities of care with other family members\, friends\, or caregiving professionals? Our approach to caregiving determines our ultimate experience. So\, when we are called to companion\, it’s important to know that there are alternatives to flying solo – collaborative approaches to care that are beneficial for the caregiver and care receiver.  The program is FREE.
