Healthy Nutrition for Older Adults
- Tuesday, April 17, 2018, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Poor nutrition can affect the mind, body, immune system, and energy levels in ways you may not be aware of. The more families know about the aging factors that can affect eating habits, the easier it will be to ensure their older adult loved one maintains a healthy diet.
The public is invited to a web seminar on Healthy Nutrition for Older Adults Tuesday, April 17, 2018. Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC)’s Caregiver Resource Center offers this free program from 3:00 to 4:00 pm at its Extension Education Center on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty. This web seminar is approved for AoTA contact hours in addition to CEUs approved for all ASA web seminars. Refreshments will be provided.
Participants will be able to:
- Recognize causes and warning signs of poor nutrition
- Understand the nutritional guidelines of older adults
- Recommend ways to manage specific dietary concerns
- Identify the risks associated with lack of mealtime companionship
Lakelyn Hogan presents this web seminar, part of the Family Caregiver Support Series, sponsored by Home Instead Senior Care®. Bee Maher will be present for a special Q and A portion after the web seminar.
