SUMMARY
As we age, change is inevitable. Physical and mobility challenges, financial limitations, and major life events can lead to the need to relocate. Whether you are planning to stay in your home or considering new options, it starts to have conversations early. Join Karla Krueger from Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid to explore:
- What renovations can be made to help you age in place?
- What housing options are available to meet your needs?
- How will retirement, fixed income, rising costs, or debt affect what you can afford?
