Schedule
  • June 28 – Am I losing my Mind?

    • This workshop will discuss the issue of memory changes. Many older adults experience subtle and not-so-subtle changes in their memories – and it can be difficult to tell what are normal changes and what are not. There are also many causes for memory change –some of them reversible and some not. After this discussion, you will know more about how your brain works and will be better informed when speaking to your Doctor or loved ones about memory loss. (Speaker TBD)

  • July 26 – Aging and Wellness

    • A peek into aging as a normal and rewarding process where wellness can be unfold and life can bring many interesting challenges to grow. As Carl Rogers said: Aging should be instead of growing older, old and still growing!

  • August 23– My Home is My Castle

    • How to modify your home to meet your changing needs. Most of us would like to remain living in our own homes. But, our homes can become more of a challenge to manage and occupy than a source of security and comfort. This workshop will discuss what can be done to modify your home to make it safe and to accommodate your needs. From grab bars and changes in the bathroom to smart houses, the choices are endless – But they can be overwhelming and it is important to be fully informed about home modification before you make important and costly decisions. (Marc Mendelsohn – Architect and Specialist from Universal Design)

  • September 27 – Use it or Lose It

    • Cognitive Vitality is key to healthy aging and is often the least understood aspect of self-care. Exercises that help you focus, concentrate, and remember will be demonstrated. Brain fitness provides not only immediate benefits, but also lasting support for our brains, our most utilized but least discussed organ. (Janet Meiselman PsyD. Geriatric Psychologist, Yoga teacher and Passionate Elder Advocate)

  • October 25 – Vacation Planning for the Solo or Older Traveler

    • For those who want to see the world or to enjoy a "staycation," this discussion will bring tips on how to continue to enjoy vacations after the children have grown up, when you find yourself thinking about vacationing alone, and when you may need a little extra help navigating a trip. (Leslie K. Lewis, M.A)

  • November 22 – Grief and Loss: Coping with the Holidays

    • The Holiday Season can be particularly challenging for those who have lost a loved one and who feel alone. In the period when you are supposed to be happy and full of cheer, it can be hard to talk about sad and lonely feelings. This workshop is designed to give room to talk about grief and loss and to make room for self-care during the Holidays. (Doris Bersing PhD)

  • December (TBD) - Housing Options

    • What are the choices for seniors who need additional support as they age? Making an informed choice about where to live is of the key decisions that seniors must undertake. This panel presentation will bring people from Assisted Living Communities, Aging in Place experts, and Retirement Communities to debate explain your options. (Judy Gilmore –Alma Via; Mark Dawson, and other specialists in senior living)
