Panel Discussion:Looking Forward to Aging on the East End

Artful Home Care is pleased to announce the Art for Health initiative. This lecture will take place June 8th, at 3pm at Guild Hall in East Hampton. The discussions, moderated by Beth McNeill-Muhs, will highlight opportunities for increasing quality of life while aging on the East End.

Do you wonder how you can maintain your well-being as you enter elder-hood? Do you question whether or not you or a loved one could benefit from some in-home support, but dont feel a health aide is the right choice? Do you want to know what the community is doing to help improve quality of life for East End residents? What do you think about enhancing your nutrition to ward off chronic conditions? What about taking a tai chi class, or dance class to improve balance and help you avoid an unwanted fall? Have you considered engaging in an art program, but wonder how to get started? Do you wonder what helps to stimulate your brain to improve your memory? Have you found yourself feeling socially isolated?

The lecture will highlight local health care professionals, as well as professionals who use the creative arts and other alternative measures as a means of healing and wellness. These discussions are an opportunity to educate community residents and begin a dialogue regarding the topic of aging on the East End.

The panelists will be the following: Deborah Adler, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT, Art Therapist, Patti Cronin-Hernandez, from The Ed & Phyllis Wellness Institute, Mare Dianora, Artist, Educator and Advocate, Robin Lombardo, Director of Music and Memory, Stefanie Sacks, MS, CNS, CDN and Nutritionist, Diane Schade, AGPCNP-BC, Geriatric and Palliative Care Nurse, and Adrienne Wooduck, Senior Caregiver and End of Life Doula.
