Solo Seniors: How to age alone and well

Most of us will spend a portion of our senior years alone. That said, there is a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. While loneliness can be as unhealthy as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, aging alone can be fulfilling with the right planning and support systems in place. Join us to explore the impact of loneliness on your mental, physical, and financial wellbeing and how to stay secure, in control, connected, and healthy if you are aging alone.

Moderated by Leanne Kaufman, President and CEO RBC Royal Trust, with panelists: Dr. Rachel Savage, Scientist, Women’s Age Lab and Women’s College Research Institute; Dr. Paula Rochon, Senior Scientist, Women’s College Research Institute, Director, Women’s Age Lab; and Audrey Miller MSW, RSW, CCLCP, Managing Director of Elder Caring Inc.
