As the adage goes: Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail. This class will help you plan for the life you want as you age. We will look at the factors that research tells us influence happiness as we age and how they can be incorporated into your plan. Each person will develop an individual plan and use the information from the classes to increase the likelihood of realizing that plan. We will look at physical activity – including mobility, recreation and preventing falls; your “energy conservation” and the equipment you need to maintain independence; assessing your home for aging in place or what to look for in other housing options, and factors influencing cognitive strength.

Linda Reece has worked as an occupational therapist for the past 39 years. She has worked in adult rehabilitation areas in cases of spinal cord injury, stroke, hip replacement, head injury, and other areas of disabilities. The OT motto she most identifies with: “make doing possible!”

NOTES: 1) Bring a folder with pockets and something to write with. 2) The third session is a field trip to Harris Medical Supplies & Equipment (63 Market St. in Potsdam).
