‘How to stay out of a nursing home’ presentation to be held

A free presentation, “How to stay out of a nursing home” or “How to keep your loved one out of a nursing home,’ will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday at Durango/La Plata Senior Center Window Room, 2424 Main Ave.

Increasingly, people want to stay out of nursing homes, to “age in place” in their own homes and communities. Join a group of people who are learning ways to make sure we can age in our own homes. The group will examine different practices, brainstorm, compare notes and learn to advocate.

Typical monthly sessions include learning and social parts, with aging and disability activist Martha Mason.
