TV Show "Aging-in-Place" Conquers Life's Journey
Life's Journey takes us through many seasons: birth, adolescence, middle age and death.
As we pass through each season, we should 'enjoy the moment.'
Managing at-home living changes when one reaches the season of old age ["the golden years."] Walking becomes more difficult, hearing and vision decreases, and you cannot enjoy some of the foods that you love to eat.
Neither you nor your loved ones have to experience this season of life alone. Everyone goes through each season. The difference is how it is experienced and who is willing to walk with you.
Premiering soon to "OUR Health," Anise Matteson will host "Aging-in-Place" airing on OUR TV - Channel 78. Guests will include: Martin Simenc, PE, ARM - Home Safety: Preventive Measures;" Cathy Drake, RN - "Transportation with Attendant Assist;" Judith Levine, MS, RD - "Nutrition;" Ed Bauman, MEd., PhD. - " Holistic Nutrition;" Karen Choy, SRES - "The Senior Real Estate Specialist."
"Aging-in-Place," a Bay Area program, provides life-planning tools for the elderly, their families/caregivers to help non-medical persons better manage self-care and the care of their aging loved ones living at-home or in transition with an emphasis on care planning and health information management.
