Did you know that baby boomers represent nearly 20% of the American and close to 30% of the Canadian population? By 2030, all baby boomers will be older than 65. Most people want to age in place (i.e. they want or they love to continue living in their homes).
But for many older adults, the decision of ageing in place comes with it's own challenges like transportation needs, limited socialization opportunities, meal preparation help, or medication reminders. There are many needs that still need to be served. To understand how to circumvent these challenges, we have today with us Merrily Orsini.
