Welcome to Aging Issues Radio with Joe Soricelli, the station that addresses the challenges of aging and provides valuable advice and education for seniors. In this episode, I discuss the important topic of housing for older adults. I explore three fundamental questions that seniors often face: Should they stay and age in place, sell and consider alternative living arrangements such as assisted living facilities, or living with their children? Additionally, I delve into the safety and financial considerations involved in providing necessary assistance as seniors age.

I emphasize the significance of assessing the safety of one's current house, such as stairs as a potential hazard. I suggest modifications like chair lifts or elevators to ensure accessibility. While these changes can be costly, they can significantly extend the time seniors can stay in their homes.

I also address the emotional and logistical challenges associated with downsizing and moving, providing insights into stress management and the use of professional services like move managers and junk removal services to facilitate the transition.

Tune in to this informative episode to gain practical insights and guidance on making housing decisions as you age.

Are you dealing with a fiduciary, someone you trust?

In this episode of Aging Issues Radio, I presented at the Westchester Senior Law collaborative in Yonkers and the Bronx NY and I spoke about:

·         Do you know what you are paying for with your financial advisor?

·         The stock market, inflation, and other things are causing financial stress in our lives

·         Learn about your personal risk profile

·         Learn about your personal budget and financial planning options

·         What about housing decisions?

·         What are the best practices when it comes to retirement?

·         How can regular people afford to deal with a professional?

If you trust someone with your money they are your fiduciary. You should know how they get paid, what they are going to do for you, and what to expect. Dealing with a fiduciary is a best practice and that fiduciaries should recognize that they have your best interests in mind.

More about "I Am" by Samuel Beckett, performed and adapted by Jess Thom

Jess Thom has Tourettes, a condition that means she makes movements and noises she can't control, called tics. Following the award-winning “Backstage In Biscuit Land,” she takes on Samuel Beckett's short play in a theatrical experience that explores neurodiversity and asks, who is allowed to perform what and who gets the final say? All performances are accompanied by an ASL interpreter/performer and are Relaxed. This means that if you tic, shout, or move about, you're more than welcome. And the great thing is, everyone can benefit from a Relaxed performance.
