Workshops & Forums

Fall Prevention
Seniors generally feel vulnerable to falls, which are the leading cause of injury-related deaths for older adults. Each year one-third of adults 65 and older living in the community experience a fall—an occurrence that can severely impact their quality of life.

SAGE’s Fall Prevention Initiative educates seniors to reduce their chances of falling. In addition, SAGE hosts a series of Fall Prevention Forums for seniors that provide information and health screenings for vision, blood pressure, and bone density, as well as balance assessments.

Brain Health
Brain Fitness is a key component of independent living. This educational series teaches strategies to improve memory for seniors. Topics include dementia versus normal forgetfulness, understanding how memory works, factors that impact upon memory loss, and strategies for memory enhancement and memory fitness.

Caring Series
Educational programs for adult children and active caregivers address the issues faced when senior parents or loved ones get older. Topics include dementia and family dynamics, medication, how to talk to aging parents, the latest Alzheimer’s findings, housing options, caregiver’s guilt, hearing loss and depression.

Health and Wellness Forum
SAGE offers a variety of educational forums for caregivers, seniors, and adults preparing for the future. Topics such as transitions, retirement, community resources, and health issues will be presented. All programs are free and held at SAGE Eldercare at 290 Broad Street, Summit.
