Many seniors want to stay in their homes as they age. But there’s a down side to aging in place – if we don’t take steps to make them safe, our comfy surroundings can be dangerous! The good news is that a few relatively simple precautions and home modifications can significantly diminish these dangers.
Every May we join the Aging Life Care Association (ALCA) in celebrating our profession and the work of Aging Life Care Managers. We are very proud that our entire team of 13 care managers, with varied backgrounds in social work, nursing and gerontology, are all members of ALCA.
If you have a green thumb, consider yourself lucky! Chances are you have planted a garden (or two or three!) or have a knack for growing plants and keeping them healthy and beautiful. Seniors and people of all ages who garden gain valuable physical and mental health benefits from this simple pastime.
