engAge, or aging in place

Last night I volunteered to use this blog to assist our residents on the mountain in communicating efforts to improve our ability to live independently as long as possible in our own homes.  This project is in conjunction with Clackamas County, Department of Social Services - link http://www.clackamas.us/socialservices/engage.jsp   So as I receive further information regarding this initiative, it will be posted here.

I also received a notice from Jennifer Mead from Healthy Aging, State Unit on Aging regarding a webinar on Self Management.  The notice is as follows:

Webinar: Self-Management: Empowering Seniors to Improve Their Health - March 24 10:30-11:30 am

This free webinar hosted by Illuminage features Sue Lachenmayr from the National Council on Aging discussing cover new tools and support that can help seniors manage and improve their own health.  The webinar will address the challenges of chronic disease faced by many seniors, how seniors can use self-management to improve their own health and well being; and what organizations can do to promote better self-management of chronic disease.
