Abstract
Aging Well was a program designed in two parts, 1) as a class for over 100 older adults focused on increasing resilience within physical, emotional, social, and spiritual domains, as well as individual mental health counseling; and 2) as a service program for site staff, hosting a series of staff in-service trainings on a number of topics pertaining to care for older adults and staff appreciation events.
Description
IMPACT. 1: "[The resilience class] has really helped me because you know your situation but you find that others -- we're different but we're all alike. I've learned a whole lot, and it's just a blessing being together and everybody sharing what's happened to them, or what is happening to them, and to know that you're not alone." -Daphne, 83.
