Staying Independent at Home

Are you an older adult that wants to stay active and healthy, and to continue living at home? Join a registered nurse and a social worker for an interactive session to learn about how your body and brain change with age and what you can do to maintain your independence. There are many supports that can help!

Participants will learn:

1. How the aging process can affect your independence
2. How to accept change, be open to doing things differently, and accept supports that can promote your independence at home
3. How to talk to your loved ones about your wishes if you become
   seriously ill
