As the age expectancy of adults has risen, we want to continue to live our best lives as long as possible! Research has shown that there are a number of ways we can be proactive with health in older adulthood. This training will provide steps that older adults can take to gain and maintain health across four life domains: physical health, cognitive health, social health, and emotional health. While some health risks are more common in older adulthood, we will discuss strategies for preventative health and healthy recovery from illness or injury. Finally, we will discuss tips on building healthy habits, how to get motivated to make changes, and how to make them part of lifestyle, so that the golden years stay feeling golden throughout life!
Objectives:
- Identify ways to gain and maintain health across several important life domains: physical
health, cognitive health, social health, and emotional health. - Discuss risks to health more common in older adults, and strategies for avoiding or overcoming them.
- Review ways to make new habits and integrate them into lifestyle.
Target Audience: Professionals and family members who work and/or care for older adults as well as any older adults who are interested in staying healthy in their golden years.
Facilitator: Erin Edwards
