Navigating Solo Aging
Navigating solo aging encompasses the challenges faced by individuals aging alone without built-in family caregivers. This definition extends beyond just individuals who are unmarried or childless, including those who may be estranged from family or have unreliable support systems. The concept also acknowledges those who may transition into solo aging due to unforeseen circumstances like losing a partner. Understanding and preparing for solo aging involves addressing medical, legal, insurance, housing, financial, and support aspects to ensure a secure and supported future.
