SUMMARY:Webinar: Aging in Place with EnABLE Home Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Register to join GGS for a free\, virtual discussion about Aging in Place! According to AARP\, 75% of older adults would like to age in place. Unfortunately\, a person’s home environment plus the aging process may be providing difficult obstacles to achieving this goal. This webinar will discuss home assessments and the importance of including an assessment of a person’s function in their environment. Both aspects are imperative to making reasonable and individualized recommendations to accomplish the goals of decreasing a person’s fall risks and maximizing their functional status. The webinar will include a variety of examples of modifications and improvements ranging from DIY ideas to those needing a handyman or contractor. \nFeatured Speaker: Cynthia “Cindy” Lourie\, MS\, OTR/L\, ECHM\, CAPS\nCindy has been an occupational therapist for 30 years. She has always worked with the older adult population in a variety of settings over my extensive career\, including acute care\, home health\, outpatient\, and inpatient rehab. Over the past 6 years Cindy became CAPS certified and extended her education with the executive certification in home modifications. She now owns the business\, EnABLE Home Solutions. I provide recommendations for fall prevention and aging in place based on each individual person’s situation without selling or pushing a product. \nRegister Today: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcqcuGvqTwsH9PPA9rz6bYm4ZveR__SOg0y

SUMMARY:GGS Advocacy Issues Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:CALLING ALL GGS MEMBERS\nGGS’s mission includes advocating for improving the lives of older Georgians. We often support the policy work of the Coalition of Advocates for Georgia’s Elderly (CO-AGE). This year we would like to consider submitting a GGS sponsored issue to the slate of CO-AGE priorities that are chosen each year so we are holding a “Listening Session” to hear from you what issues impacting older adults you think GGS should focus on as well as any legislative policy solutions you think could be viable and impactful in Georgia. You are welcome to join us even if you don’t have a specific idea as it is always helpful to get discussions going of ideas that are bubbling up and you might have expertise or insight to share on those ideas!  All GGS members are encouraged to attend this session\, led by our Board Advocacy Committee. Once we have the ideas generated from this session\, our Advocacy Committee will meet again to discuss and vote on (if we have multiple submissions) a submission issue prior to the CO-AGE deadline. \nRegister Here
