Whether you live alone or are currently married/partnered, the best time to ensure you have everything in place for a successful aging process is when you don't yet need the services and accommodations you might need in the future. So join Cantor Pamela Siskin and Alison Solomon, LCSW for a two-part workshop entitled Aging Alone Together. We'll have presentations, a panel, breakout discussion groups and plenty of time to schmooze over lunch.
