S2E20: No one wants Isolation. 5 Strategies for Connected Aging
Did you know that over 25% or 1 out of 4 Canadians will be over the age of 60 by 2036? Did you know that 80% of retired Canadians have a fixed income with approximately 27,000 dollars for the median income?
With these facts in mind bundled with the sub-standard system for long-term care for seniors and shortage of retirement homes, there is a need for a lot more work for seniors. Caregivers also play an essential role in this as companions of their loved ones in their old-age journey.
Today, we have with us Sue Lantz to discuss this and more. Sue is the founder and managing director of Collaborative Aging, a creative consulting firm supporting individuals, organizations, businesses, and communities to improve and expand the "options" for aging in place.
Sue is a passionate advocate for resourceful and grassroots housing, healthcare, and neighborhood solutions connected to inclusive communities. She is a trusted policy expert and voice for seniors and people with disabilities.
Sue has worked over many years in Canada to generate innovative designs for home care and housing alternatives to institutional living.
She regularly speaks about empowered aging, including housing options, building stronger social connections, and supporting healthy and balanced caregiving.
Topics:
- What Collaborative Aging is and what she does
- Why she started this work
- What she means by boomers need to step up and co-design the solution and contribute
- The Five strategies that refer to the perspective of the caregiver
- When is the right time to move in housing choices
- Different housing options
- How to make a change and planning to move
- Her thoughts on mixed generation housing
- On having a support
