COSCO Workshops DESCRIPTIONS:
Preventing Falls
We review the alarming impact falls have on the well-being of seniors and identify hazards that contribute to the likelihood of falls. We recommend safeguards and demonstrate exercises to improve balance and strength.
Life Planning
The wisdom of having a life plan is emphasized:
- Representation Agreements,
- Powers of Attorney, and
- Advance Directives
are needed to express your wishes regarding personal care, certain financial matters and end of life care if you are no longer able to speak for yourself.
