CONCLUSION
In 15 years the community-based education and services will have a bigger variety in areas
they can dive into at any time.

I think art is one of the best ways to live the rest of your life. Something to express yourself,
and something permanent to remember you by that is more meaningful that jewelry or
materialistic items.

The older adults will have their choice to choose where they go when they reach that point in
community-based education and services though.

The opportunities will be endless in 15 years, and we cannot even begin to fathom the
changes that will happen.

Older adults living longer will be a big thing to change, but a change is needed and necessary,
and we all need to be aware because we are aging also.
