College Students and Senior Citizens Living Together? It’s More Common Than You’d Think
February 28th, 2020
M.S. Aging & Health Professor Sonya Barsness was recently quoted in a Business Insider article discussing the benefits of intergenerational living.
In my previous role at AARP Foundation, I remember a call that came through our Housing Solutions Center from a 92-old widower who was at risk of losing his home to foreclosure. He had exhausted all financial resources in order to help his wife’s battle with cancer. When she passed away, he was on the verge of becoming homeless. There are limited options for people as they age and with limited income. My passion for aging is to influence interventions earlier in life that support the wealth and well-being of people so that they may live their best lives and not fear for the future.
