About the Instructor
Ed is an aging-in-life strategist and realizes that growing older brings a new set of challenges. The next steps in this process may include giving up the car keys, putting up with people hovering about “helping,” or leaving homes and many precious memories and keepsakes behind. Ed connects adult children with their parents to build a strategy to confront the challenges of aging.
