Self-Care for Caregivers and Older Adults
This Rethinking Aging Club Podcast episode focused on prioritizing self-care and wellness for caregivers, effective exercise programs for older adults, developing products and services that improve older adults’ lives, and integrating wellness in home design. Our speakers emphasized the importance of addressing psychological and social factors in addition to biology, and highlighted the potential of technology to support healthy aging and social connection. They also discussed the need for practical tips and resources to help individuals cope with the challenges of remote work and social isolation, and agreed that promoting age-friendly products is crucial for improving the quality of life for older adults.
