Planning ahead can bring peace of mind. Explore resources to help you think through your values, communicate your wishes, and prepare important documents for future health care decisions.
Here you will find articles written by DOROT staff members and other solo aging experts, and videos from our Aging Well programs. We are regularly adding new videos and articles to this page, so please visit us regularly!
We also encourage you to sign up for Aging Alone Together, DOROT’s flagship program for adults 60+ who live alone, are aging without available family support, or who seek meaningful connection.
