Through lectures and workshops, this conference will explore
the concept of place and its relationship to well-being for older
adults; address the topic of aging in place, including the importance
of design and home modification; and define and differentiate
various housing options for older adults. Policy issues being
debated in the state of New York will be presented. The conference
will be especially valuable for housing managers, housing agency
professionals, social workers, professionals in aging services,
designers and developers, and community members.
