TOPIC: Stronger With Others: The Joy of Connection in Solo Aging
In today’s society, the population of individuals aged 65 and older is rapidly increasing. This trend includes a growing group of older adults who live independently without traditional family support, often referred to as Solo Agers. Solo Agers are defined as “individuals who, by choice or circumstance, function without the support system traditionally provided by family.” While living independently can offer significant benefits—such as autonomy, self-determination, and personal fulfillment—it can also present unique challenges. This session will explore both the advantages and the potential obstacles faced by Solo Agers, providing insight and practical considerations for successful aging while living alone.
