Alaska has the fastest growing aging population, per capita, in the United States, and as Alaskans age, the question of whether to stay in your home or community, can become a difficult one for many to answer.

On this episode of Alaska Insight, host Lori Townsend is joined by Teresa Holt, director of AARP Alaska, and Jacquie Braden, a community development program manager at RurAL CAP to discuss the challenges and resources available, for those looking to spend their golden years in their communities and lifelong homes.
