Livability for Longevity Symposium: Changing Needs in an Aging Metropolis

By 2030, older Texans are expected to outnumber children. As a consequence, the needs of aging adults will place new demands on family time and budgets during their empty nest years. Whereas during the baby boom our social agenda was defined largely by the need to build elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as to provide opportunities for higher education, increasingly the need for health and long-term care, as well as the financial support of older persons, will take center stage. The L&L Symposium on Changing Care Needs for an Aging Metropolis Conference speakers will address the following topics: Intergenerational Community Building Strategies; Awareness of Services by Older Adults; Challenges of Affordability, Mobility, and Health; Access to Community Resources. This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be served at noon.
