Recorded Webinar: Aging In Place - Tips for a Safe, Accessible Home Environment
The CE Contact Hour is no longer available for this webinar.
Aging in place has numerous benefits for older adults, including maintaining independence; reducing stress and depression; reducing risk of bacterial and viral infections; and significant cost savings. However, older adults often need to modify their homes to make them safer and more accessible. Among adults 65+, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths (CDC), non-fatal injuries, and hospital admissions for trauma.
