Five Resolutions for Aging Well

Five Resolutions for Aging Well

It’s a new year! Whether you believe in resolutions or not, these suggestions are useful for anyone looking to take charge of their aging.

Here are five resolutions to try this year:

1. Get your key legal documents in place, or review what you already have.

2. Research some housing options and consider whether you can age in place or need to make a move. (Looking for expert assistance? Contact Iona’s Care Management team for a free 15-minute consultation.)

3. Join your local Village.

4. Explore some ways to make new friends. Around Town DC offers a great class on expanding your social networks–sign up today! You can also sign up for in-person activities and lunch at St. Alban’s.

5. Plan ahead with Aging Solo, our affordable, self-guided course that addresses topics like your social and support networks, healthcare decision-making and end-of-life choices, and more.

Of course, making resolutions is challenging enough, and keeping them is even harder! But, Iona can help with classes, consultations, and care management. Contact us today at (202) 895-9448 to schedule a consultation or speak with a Helpline specialist.
