ABOUT AGING ALONE TOGETHER®

Aging Alone Together is DOROT’s flagship program for adults age 60+ who identify as solo agers, individuals who by choice or circumstance expect to age or make decisions about their future independently. This six-week workshop series provides solo agers with the tools, strategies, and support to age successfully and build social connections. The curriculum involves topic-specific presentations, coaching, and guidance on critical decision-making, along with conversation, personalized check-ins, and assignments.
