More About Senior Lunch & Learn: Senior Living 101

At the Monroe County Y, we are more than a gym. We're a community—a place where you can gather, connect with others, and learn something new!

We are excited to hold our Senior Lunch & Learn series at our Northwest Y in our Community Room. These events feature a range of speakers from a wide variety of expertise.

Did you know? According to U.S. census, 8% of the population in Bloomington are 65 and older, and 37% of those seniors are living alone. Understanding the different options available in senior healthcare can be complicated and confusing.

Join passionate senior advocate Sandra McGow to learn the difference between Independent Living; Assisted Living; and Skilled Nursing. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of choosing Home Healthcare vs. a Retirement Community, as well as what lines of care our local communities and agencies offer. Feel empowered to make the right choice for you and your health.

11:30 am-12:00 pm: Lunch and a chance to socialize with others
12:00-12:50 pm: Featured presentation

Senior Lunch & Learns are FREE and open to the public with free lunch included for attendees. Please register early to reserve your spot, as space is limited.
