Join us and a panel of experts as we discuss building a support system as you age. The WA Cares Fund was designed to help Washington workers stay in their own homes as they age. A lack of social interaction or community support can leave older adults feeling isolated and limit their community activities. We will discuss the negative impacts of social isolation, how to build a strong support system and how a support system can improve your wellbeing.
