SUMMARY:HomeFit Presentation
DESCRIPTION:AARP research consistently finds that the vast majority of people age 50 and older want to stay in their homes and communities for as long as possible.

This free presentation offers solutions that range from simple do-it-yourself fixes to improvements that are more involved and require skilled expertise but are well worth the expense. \nAbout our presenter: Gene Nicolelli\, AIA Emeritus\, is an award-winning architect licensed in Minnesota. He is a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) with expertise in universal design and has 48 years of experience in residential architecture.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - Powers of Attorney & Advance Directives
DESCRIPTION:In this informal session\, retired lawyer Julia Rau will talk about powers of attorney and health care directives – how to effectively designate someone to handle your finances and make health care decisions if you are unable to do it yourself. She will cover questions such as: Why should you do this? What is the alternative? How is it done? What do the forms look like? What are some things to consider when choosing the right person? What are the pros and cons of naming more than one person? What precautions should you consider? How are the forms signed and what do you do with them? And\, of course\, Julia will try to answer any other questions you might have about powers of attorney and health care directives. \nAbout our speaker: Julia Rau lives in Grand Marais. Before retiring in 2016\, she was a partner at the Dorsey & Whitney law firm in Minneapolis\, focusing on estate and disability planning\, wills\, and trusts. She is no longer a lawyer and does not give legal advice\, but she is happy to share general insights with all of us about these important topics. \nRegister here! \n  \n     \nCare Partners and Cook County Higher Education are pleased to present a Lunch & Learn series designed to support aging well in Cook County! Presented on the fourth Wednesday of the month from noon to 1pm at Cook County Higher Education\, these free Lunch & Learn classes feature speakers from area organizations like Sawtooth Mountain Clinic\, AARP\, Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging\, and more! You can join online OR in person at Cook County Higher Education. Thanks to the generosity of individual donors and granting organizations\, a light lunch is provided free of charge for those who are able to attend in person.
