Webinar | Fall Prevention: Proactive Tips to Reduce Risk

Each year, up to 1/3 of adults over the age of 65 years will experience a fall. Older adults with chronic conditions are at higher risk and it is important to know falling is not a normal part of aging.

In this upcoming webinar, with Dr. Silvia Hugec, Chief Medical Officer at Home Doctor For You, we will provide an overview of the importance of proactive fall prevention for older adults and their caregivers, address certain predictors, and offer tips for providers to further reduce fall risk.

By the end of this webinar, we will help attendees to:

• Understand the health impact of falls and injuries in older adults
• Identify health and environmental factors that can lead to increased risk of falls or injury
• Understand easy to use steps for safer spaces
• Gain insights into proactive options for remote monitoring opportunities

Embracing Their Reality

We can all agree that caregiving in 2021 has been a year unlike any other and we find value in strengthening knowledge and understanding of dementia care practices.

Source of Life Technologies and Home Care Providers partnered with Rachael Wonderlin, Dementia By Day owner and consultant, to bring dementia related information to our community in an effort to help senior caregivers elevate their dementia care.

Rachael trademarked the phrase “Embrace Their Reality” because what she teaches is so different from what is normally heard in dementia care education sessions.

In this webinar, “Embracing Their Reality”, Rachael Wonderlin discussed:

• How to avoid arguments with a person living with dementia
• How to use 3 questions to better understand and live in the world of the person with dementia
• Why you can stop worrying about the “line” between “lying” and telling the “truth” in dementia care
