Current/Past Activities

Reserve the Date:

As residents of 55+ buildings, the issue of “Aging in Place” is an important consideration for many of our MLLOA members. This event will speak to questions that arise as people are approaching a time when it may be difficult to remain in their independent living environment and will explore how Home Care services may extend the time in their home and what transition options are available.

Our guest speaker for the event is Terri Bowser, a Regional Rehab and Geriatrics Educator with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Terri is an expert on the topic. She has been a presenter at previous MLLOA Round Tables and has provided invaluable information and referral advice.
