DescriptionOne of the most essential aims for today’s older individuals is to age successfully. With unlimited functional potential but limited clinical resources, this may be both exciting and demanding for rehabilitation professionals. This innovative course recording provides new and intriguing information to assist older persons in reaching their functional objectives. Aging is not need to become feeble, and chronic health concerns do not have to hinder an older person’s capacity to age effectively in place.

My elderly client’s sunroom had old worn rugs, which I highlighted as a serious fall risk. I put the old rugs in her garage so her family could properly dispose of them. I secured the new, safer rugs to the floor using double-sided rug tape. A week later, her son called to tell me that his mother had collected the old rugs and placed them on top of the new ones to keep the new ones clean!
Possessions, a house, and freedom are important to older individuals. Understanding and respecting choice, as well as generating client-centered goals, are essential skills for therapists in every professional situation. Susan Blair, one of only two AOTA Board-certified occupational therapists in both physical rehabilitation and gerontology, will explain her innovative approach to providing an appropriate therapy environment for today’s elderly clients.
