Each one of us holds in our hearts the image of an elderly loved one: a father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, teacher, or relative… They are the ones who shaped us, gave us unconditional love, and instilled in us the values we live by today.
When we care for the elderly, we are, in fact, caring for ourselves and for the future of the generations to come—because we are all walking the same path, and the day we stand in their place will inevitably come.
This seminar is more than just a meeting; it is an honest call to engage, to shape a better future for those who gave us so much, and to develop plans that ensure them the highest level of care and respect through:
• Raising community awareness about the changes that come with aging and the main health challenges the elderly face (such as memory loss, general weakness, and multiple chronic conditions).
• Distinguishing between normal aging signs and pathological symptoms that require attention and intervention.
• Guiding attendees on the importance of early medical consultation and regular communication with healthcare teams when noticing any changes in the health of older adults.
• Understanding common causes of falls: physical, environmental, and medication-related factors.
• Highlighting the risks of falls among the elderly and strategies to prevent them at home and in the community.
• Practical steps to make the home safer for older adults.
• Simple daily exercises to enhance balance and fitness.
• The importance of proper nutrition, medication review, and coordination with the healthcare team to reduce fall risks.
Let us move from being mere listeners to becoming changemakers. Your attendance at this seminar marks the beginning of this positive transformation
