A new series of conversations on aging-related issues focusing on a strengths approach to later life. Three times in each of the Fall and Spring semesters on thursday afternoons, we will meet to hear about new and ongoing research, promising strategies, and opportunities for collaboration. This series is designed for researchers, service providers, community advocates and others.
Drawing from her NIH-funded research project, "Virtual-Exercise at Home in older adults at risk of falling", Dr. Tomita will share her results on internet-based exercise. This project was chosen as on of the 24 most significant aging research projects in North America by the jounal International Innovation. In addition, she will present the study on functional exercise for frail older adults and talk about Home Safety Self-Assessment Tool.
Join this Research Roundtable to discuss and formulate a theoretical framework to guide research on aging-related issues including assessments, interventions, and evaluations of this community engaged work. The Research on Aging Series/CEPP is delighted to be collaborating with UB's IDeA Center as partners with the Age-Friendly Erie County Initiative. Potential funding opportunities from UB and externally will be identified for faculty and student projects that fit with this initiative. Researchers, service providers, and community advocates welcome.
For the older adult who is frail or cognitively impaired, sustaining the integrity of personhood becomes increasingly difficult as "care" is increasingly required. This session will explore identity and stigma in this group with a particular emphasis on the person living with dementia.
