For seniors, independence means living life on their own terms, with dignity and purpose. With the senior population expected to reach 95 million by 2060, supporting older adults in staying autonomous is more crucial than ever. The course Promoting Senior Independence: Let Freedom Ring! offers practical strategies to help seniors thrive at home.

Aging brings challenges like weakened muscles, balance issues, or cognitive decline, with falls affecting one in four seniors annually, often leading to injury. Overzealous caregiving can also unintentionally limit autonomy. However, with thoughtful approaches, seniors can maintain their freedom and well-being.

This course shares actionable ideas through real-world examples and trusted resources. Learn to create safer homes using the CDC’s fall prevention checklist (CDC STEADI) and the Home Safety Self-Assessment Tool (HSSAT). See how exercise programs like Matter of Balance keep seniors like 92-year-old Mary active and steady. Explore nutrition tips from Nutrition.gov and meal delivery options like Meals on Wheels to support health. Engage minds with activities like reading or Lumosity (Lumosity), and discover how telehealth enhances safety while respecting privacy.

Through Promoting Senior Independence, you’ll find ways to help seniors live vibrantly, whether at home or in care settings.
