When Social Security is Not Enough: Accessing Older Adult Services in Northeast Ohio

December 10 @ 12:00 pm EST

Although older adults in Cuyahoga and Geauga counties rely heavily on Social Security, retirement, and savings, many of them are still struggling to make ends meet, as 51 percent of older adults in Cuyahoga County and 40 percent of older adults in Geauga County do not have enough resources to afford their basic necessities. Moreover, Cleveland has seen an increase in the number of older adults living in poverty, 24.7 percent in 2023 compared to 20.9 percent in 2021. Even though there are programs and resources available for the older adult population, these services can be difficult to access and navigate, especially for those without Internet or transportation access, experiencing social isolation, or living with a physical disability.

A panel of experts from Greater Cleveland will discuss the current and emerging needs of older adults in our communities, programs that assist older adults, navigating the older adult service system, and policy recommendations to address the growing population of older adults living in poverty.

Join the live conversation on December 10 at noon via Zoom. The event is free, but registration is required.
