6 Ways to Stay Independent Without Doing Everything Alone

Staying independent does not mean doing everything yourself. Eleanor Hayes walks through six ways to build a circle of support around your own independence, on your own terms, at your own pace. Covered in this video, how to sort your weekly tasks into keep, share and hand off, getting to know your street in small ordinary ways, faith communities and volunteer groups, why a senior center is also a doorway to local programs, learning one video call with one person, and planning your connection every week like any other need. Includes what the CDC reports about loneliness and social support, with honest limits for each idea. Eleanor is a digital character.
