How you can prepare for the dreaded question "what if?"
Too many young seniors turn a deaf ear when they hear words such as “aging,” “senior,” “elderly,” and many respond too quickly stating, “that’s not me,” or “I’m not ready to hear that!” Some smile politely and move on.

Pat Kay, Aging in Place PARTNERSHIP Board Facilitator for Transportation, has championed the community cars pilot project since she learned of its potential more than a year ago. “As a socially, active blind person, this is a vital addition to the existing transportation services not only where I live but would be in most communities, especially those serving the 55 and over population,” she said. “With Community Cars scheduled to begin in April, 2012, we are poised to become a state leader in transportation services for townships like South Brunswick. “I treasure my independence and ability to make choices as to my lifestyle and look forward to April when I can extend my options.” With this added transportation resource, AIPP has taken a …
