Aging In Place: Remain the CEO in your own life
Your housing needs can change as you age. How do you plan ahead so that you always remain the CEO of your own life? What are your housing options? How will you pay for it? How do you retain control of your housing choices?
Join DIGGS for an afternoon of empowerment. Our guest speakers will help you determine what you need to do to prepare for the difficult side of aging and the steps to take so you keep control over the process.
Moderated by Deputy District Attorney Ryann Jorban from the Consumer Protection Division of LA County District Attorney’s Office.
