Retiring Well: Considering the Costs of Good Health


Check out the results for the first round of seminars!

Many are unaware of the costs of health care especially for long-term care cases.  It has been found that rural areas tend to have an aging population with higher incidences of chronic illnesses (such as obesity, hypertension, and chronic lung disease), high unemployment rates, and lower incomes.  The goal of the Retiring Well project is to help older adults in rural Southwestern Ontario (Huron, Perth, Grey, Bruce Counties) understand and learn how to prepare themselves for health-related financial costs that will happen later in their lives.  Our hope for our participants is that they walk away with an increased awareness of the health-related financial costs of aging and a better understanding of how to self manage these costs post retirement.
