New Year's Health Resolutions for Seniors:

1. E X E R C I S E - Don't blow it off. This doesn't mean you have to become a body-builder or athlete. Adding more movement daily and eventually doing some sustained movement, i.e. exercise, will go a long way.

2. Review your health - Ask yourself and your doctor what you can do on the preventive side if you have health issues going on.

3. Make friends - Surprised? Having caring relationships is actually one proven way to maintain your health.

4. Learn something new - This too is a way to keep your mind active and always growing.

5. Make your home safer - We get comfortable in our own homes and don't always notice things like loose rugs or overloaded electrical circuits. Ask us for a home safety check.

Basically "say Yes" to those things that will help you be healthier and happier for 2013!

Helping Hands Outreach has made a deeper commitment to facilitate healthy aging

As we age we have the wonderful opportunity

to engage in new ways in our community.

Aging also presents some challenges.

It is critical that we decide how we will remain healthy

so we may take advantage of this great time in our lives.

Living healthy does not happen without some planning.

And it is not something to start paying attention to

when we are already in our retirement years.

Watch for healthy aging opportunities at Helping Hands

for adults of every age, adults in their 40s and 50s

or in their 80s and 90s, with the goal of

helping us all remain healthy and

prepared to fully embrace our aging!

"Our Mission is to help create a healthy community where older adults
and adults with disabilities want to live and be a vital part of our community.

We do this by providing -
Information & Referral
Education & Training
Direct Volunteer & Professional Services
Social & Recreational Opportunities"

Use of this Seal has been granted to us since 2006 in recognition that we have "Met All Standards" of accountability and transparency as a non-profit. We have been told that this is a rare achievement for a relatively small nonprofit organization and a strong statement of our dedication to our supporters.
