A growing portion of the 50+ population is composed of “solos”. These are individuals
who cannot or choose not to rely on family to help them navigate life events and make
health decisions. The group helps solos plan for and manage health and well-being
decisions and events—both large and small—during the second half of life. Participants
work with each other to create a personal ‘backup plan’ to make sure they have help
and support when they need it. The Backup Plan concept was designed by Linda Camp,
an independent consultant and researcher.
“Solos” will meet to explore The Back Up Plan on the 1st Monday of each Month starting May 6, 2024, 10:30am to noon. Please join use at The Community Room, Northwoods Bank, 1200 1st St E, Park Rapids!
