We are still thinking about our time at the Georgia Gerontology Society conference last week!

They also hosted the "Care & Comfort Lounge," with adapted games, sensory tools, assistive tech demos, and information about services at Tools for Life.

Many older adults want to stay in their homes as they age, but need extra support to do so. Assistive technologies (AT) can make aging in place safer and easier.

Join us on Tuesday, July 14, at 2:00 p.m. to explore ACCESS for Aging Well, a tool that helps service providers, older adults, and care partners identify AT solutions and strategies. Presenters will demonstrate the tool, highlight its unique features and uses, and share how it was developed.

Reserve your spot at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/qp5wWiHs8W today! CEUs and CRCs are available for attendees who request them.
