Now more than ever before, Minnesota’s older adults and their families have a wide variety of options to choose from when considering needed care, services and the settings in which they can be received. They range from those that allow the older adult to live at home or in independent senior housing, or in assisted living settings or in long-term care facilities for short or longer term stays. Hear firsthand how aging services are evolving and being transformed in Minnesota from one who knows – Gayle M. Kvenvold, the President and CEO of the Minnesota Health and Housing Alliance (an association that represents primarily not-for-profit aging services organizations in MN) . Learn what challenges these organizations face and the role you can play in creating the services and settings you may one day need.
