Description:

This course provides a detailed description of varied options supporting the well-being of older adults throughout the trajectory of the senior life course. While the term aging in place expresses a desire shared by many older adults, it is imperative for the environment to support the realities of the aging body, physical and mental changes, and the ability to access meaningful relationships that can ensure psychosocial needs are met. Identifying other solutions to support healthy aging is important for healthcare professionals who can serve as resources for older patients, educating them about options and opportunities for healthy aging and the ability to thrive throughout life. This course will provide learners with knowledge on communities designed around aging adults, supportive services, innovative technologies, and devices designed create safer environments—all in an effort to maintain a sense of independence in any home and/or community.
