Programs For Productive Aging

Q. What can I do to lead a healthier life as an older adult?

A. Taking steps to become more active can improve your health and wellness and lead to a healthier and happier life as an older adult. According to America’s Health Rankings, only 23.1% of adults over the age of 65 meet federally recommended physical activity guidelines (2021 Senior Report). Aging & In-Home Services (AIHS) offers two programs for productive aging that promote health, wellness and community engagement.

The programs AIHS offers are the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) and the Enhance Fitness Program.

CDSMP is an educational workshop that aims to help individuals with chronic diseases manage the challenges of living with their condition. Areas covered include symptom management, setting goals and learning about the diagnosis. The program lasts for six weeks and focuses on a unique module each week.

A few comments that I have heard over the years include:

1) I have to spend money to fix up my home before I sell it.

2) My attic and basement are full of stuff; I will have to have a garage sale.

3) I have to pack and move all of my belongings.

Looking at this list of concerns would cause anyone to just say “Forget It!”
