Learn About Smart Strategies for Aging in Place, with Dr. Cathy Rosenbaum: In Illinois alone, 25% of the population is projected to be 60 years or older by 2030, according to the US Census. Smart choices now can make a difference. To help, the Rock Island Public will offer “Smart Strategies for Aging in Place” with Dr. Cathy Rosenbaum on Friday. 

The free presentation on April 18 is from 2 pm to 3:30 pm in the Rock Island Downtown Library Community Room, 401 19^th Street, Rock Island.

Drawing on her background as a holistic clinical pharmacist with Rx Integrative Solutions of Loveland, Ohio, Dr. Rosenbaum will present on options for graceful aging at home, how caregivers can holistically help loved ones or care clients, and how to get started with technology, resources, and support services. The goal of aging in place is to maintain optimal wellness for all, while staying in one’s home safely, independently, and comfortably.
