Crittenden writes article for BDN on aging in place

Jennifer Crittenden, assistant director of the University of Maine Center on Aging, wrote an article for the Bangor Daily News titled “Senior housing funding is a ‘drop in the bucket.’ Here’s how you can plan ahead to age in place.” Maine residents recently voted in favor of a $15 million affordable senior housing bond, according to the article. “Placed in the right location, new affordable housing units can facilitate successful aging by reducing transportation costs and providing natural opportunities for older adults to participate in their communities,” Crittenden wrote.
