Healthy Back Habits for Caregivers
TUESDAY, MAY 26, 3:30PM
Many adults spend a considerable portion of their week caring for aging parents,
relatives, friends, or other adults. According to the results of a recent study, the stresses
and strains of providing care to an ill loved one may take a considerable toll on the
mental and physical health of care- givers — including their back and spine health.
Learn healthy back habits to keep you safe.
Elder-Friendly Living: Modifying Your Home for Safety
TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 3:30 PM
No matter when the older person’s home was built and regardless of whether it is
modern or traditional in style, it likely was designed for young adults and their families.
As adults age their homes also grow older, but most are not updated to accommodate
the resident’s changing needs. Home adaptation or modification can provide friendlier
elder living so older occupants may continue to life safely in the comfort of their home.
