“A Day In the Life” AGING 101 Hands-On Sensory Simulation Class
– Focuses on cognitive & physical age-related challenges.

Families, caregivers and professionals can reach a deeper level of understanding by spending some time “walking in their care recipients or clients shoes.” Activities mimic what it is like to feel confused, frustrated, isolated and more. Participants will gain compassion and empathy.  

These simulation exercises help participants understand age-related health challenges faced by the older people they serve. These include neuropathy, hearing loss, vision loss, language and cognitive impairment, mobility and balance. Join us as we share experiences with peers to help you process lessons learned in a meaningful, memorable way. What is it like to live every day as an older adult facing one or more common, age-related health challenges? During the engaging, active learning simulation sessions, participants break into small groups for simulation exercises designed to provide insight into this important question. After the “hands-on” experiences, they gather to discuss how such challenges may impact an elder’s autonomy and ability to live independently.

Thank you to Cobb Friendship Club for the grant funding that allows us to provide this training opportunity to the community at not cost to participants.

Must RSVP in advance by calling 770-722-7641 or emailing info@alohatoaging.org

We have worked as volunteers for Dawn for 6 years. She develops daily programs which stimulate and entertain participants in her programs. She combines professional knowledge and management skills with kindness and compassion. She is the best.
