Ask most seniors if they are looking forward to moving into a senior residence and the majority will give an emphatic “NO!” So why is that the main option when we need more support as we age? What would some alternative housing look like and what would be their benefits? Learn about Radical Resthomes and Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORC), and why more seniors are choosing to live in apartment and condo buildings than ever before.

This information session is hosted virtually, but you can join ECO-02 at our offices to watch in person with a group!

Date: May 15th 2024

Time: 10:00 a.m.
