Are you one of the millions of seniors on their own? A recent study found one out of five seniors over 65 are single and without any family support. Looking at the 40 million seniors who are classified as economically vulnerable, then there’s about 8 million seniors who have just a single income and no one else on which to rely. In this video, Attorney Eric Olsen, Executive Director of the HELPS Nonprofit Law Firm, will examine the special needs that solo seniors have to face.

Many women outlive their husbands and rely on Social Security as their sole source of income. Some seniors never have had kids, or their kids live far away or are estranged. You can call these golden agers solo seniors, orphan seniors, or seniors on their own. Whatever they're called, they have special needs. Attorney Eric Olsen, Executive Director of the HELPS Nonprofit Law Firm, discusses both their financial and social needs, and how to address them. The attorney works with many struggling seniors who have no other means of support, and knows how to deal with their special needs. He explains how they need to live within their means, how to address high housing and transportation costs, how their income and bank accounts are protected, and how they can get both social and financial support.

His advice could help you – or a solo senior you know – deal with being on their own.
