Looking back five months, did anyone even know what Zoom was, or that it existed? Now, it’s everywhere…including Aging Ahead’s CHOICE Program. Just another way we are Aging Ahead with you! A large variety of topics are offered and sure to pique many interests like Balance Barre, the 2020 Census, writing classes, Medicare Bootcamp, chair yoga, and much more!
Through stay-at-home recommendations, Donald, an avid learner and CHOICE enthusiast has stayed busy and kept his mind active by joining 2-3 CHOICE presentations each week! “The virtual meetings are a true godsend! Contact with people is so critical to staying healthy and well!” Donald, a high-risk older adult, expressed that sheltering in place does not have to mean isolation, “Without CHOICE, I would only have daily contact with my wife. Now, I feel like I am still a part of the community.” Donald says that virtual CHOICE provides “exciting, educational, and social opportunities that keep my brain stimulated.”
