This year Jennifer Kinney, Ph.D. is retiring, so we are taking this opportunity to celebrate her 28 years at Miami. She is a champion for learning beyond the classroom, encouraging students to share their research, attend conferences, and engage with the broader gerontological community.

As new students move into campus and begin their journey, we invite you to reflect on the professors who shaped your experience.

Your support helps ensure that the next generation of gerontologists have transformative opportunities.

Aging in place does not mean pretending nothing has changed and hoping for the best.

Sometimes the right solution is additional support at home.
Sometimes it’s downsizing.
Sometimes it’s independent living, assisted living, or memory care.

The goal is not staying in the same house forever at all costs.
The goal is safety, dignity, quality of life, and support that evolves as needs change.

Different needs. Different solutions. Same goal: helping people live well.

Proud to be NASMM@Home certified and helping families navigate aging, downsizing, moving, and life transitions with clarity and support.
