The Golden Boys and Girls: Best Practices for Condos with Aging Residents

The article discusses best practices for condos with aging residents. As the senior population grows and lifespans increase, many retirees and seniors choose to age in their condominiums.

Condo boards and management should be aware of the challenges and be prepared to provide reasonable accommodations and communicate with designated authorities like Power of Attorney for Property holders.
