Village Project to present ‘Maximizing Good Health’ for seniors
LONDON: Retiree enclaves are increasingly turning to wellness programmes to boost occupancy and preceptions of ageing.
The Seacoast Village Project kicks off its 2022 Lunch & Learn series for seniors with “Maximizing Good Health” featuring Dr. Karl Singer on Tuesday, Jan. 18 at noon.
The virtual program is the first in a ten-part series geared toward seniors and offered by Seacoast Village Project. The Lunch & Learn series, which is free and open to the public, will be held via Zoom video conference and requires advance registration.
Dr Singer, a board-certified geriatrician and Medical Director for the Rockingham County Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, has a long-standing interest in how we can maximize healthy aging. During this presentation he will share the strategies he recommends to his patients and also what he uses himself.
Prior to the Jan. 18 sessions, participants are encouraged to review the Living to 100 Life Expectancy Calculator created by Dr Tom Perls, the founder and director of the New England Centenarian Study, which is trying to understand the genetic and lifestyle traits that enable a long and healthy life. The calculator can be found at livingto100.com.
“Maximizing Good Health” is the first in the ten-part 2022 Lunch & Learn series that features guest experts who provide critical information to seniors wanting to better plan and advocate for themselves as they grow older. Lunch & Learn programs occur on the third Tuesday of each month and subsequent topics include advocating for yourself in today’s stressed healthcare system; adapting your home for safety and easier living; planning to get the help you need; portals, passwords and telehealth tips; being a good driver; right-sizing and housing options; preparing for weather emergencies; and avoiding scams.
The series is offered by Seacoast Village project, a network of older adults working together to get connected, get smart and help each other out as they grow older in their homes and communities. Founded in 2018 and based on a national Village Movement model of neighbor-helping-neighbor, the Seacoast Village Project is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to making “aging in place” a reality by supporting the social, educational, and practical needs of older adults living independently.
