Reflecting on the conversations I had at the Silvers Summit I realize I had the same three conversations quite a few times. These are not new points, the topics are review for folks I converse with all the time. (I may even have written about them in this space) I am going to share the… Continue Reading Silvers Summit- The Chats

I predicted my panel would be the best at the Silvers Summit. I was right! Not that the competition wasn’t fierce. There were plenty of great folks talking about great things. I lead off with the twin themes that Aging in Place is not about isolated homes and individuals but homes that are part of… Continue Reading BEST Panel at Silvers Summit

People often study a problem hoping to improve the situation by organizing and ‘simplifying’ it. That is not my vision for Aging in Place 2.0.  There are too many elements, services, interventions, design solutions, tools and personal needs to think that ‘simplify’ will organize them.

I did not take last week off! I attended the Leading Age (formerly AAHSA) conference, Celebrate Age,  here in DC.  I really owe it to my friend and colleague Joel Shapira.
