Staying Independent After 70 Starts Before You Need Help

Staying independent after seventy rarely ends with one big event. It usually wears down through small things nobody looked at in time, and most of them can be checked while you are well. In this video Eleanor Hayes walks through the everyday habits and checkups that support living in your own home. How much activity the CDC recommends for older adults, simple strength and balance practice, eating and drinking basics, why a dilated eye exam matters even when your vision seems fine, how to get your hearing checked, how to ask a pharmacist for a medication review, and how to build standing plans with other people. You also get a first fifteen minutes checklist and a gentle order to start in. Eleanor Hayes is a digital character, and this video is educational information, not medical, legal or financial advice. Please speak with your own doctor, pharmacist, eye doctor or audiologist about your health and your medicines. #LivingAlone #SeniorHealth #AgingInPlace
