Active Daily Living

SARCOA offers an online platform to help baby boomers and their parents remain independent and age in place.

Millions of baby boomers and their parents want to age in place and maintain their independence in their own homes as long as possible. But many face physical and environmental challenges as they become less adept at performing daily activities.

To deal with this growing problem, SARCOA is offering an online health tool called Active Daily Living. The Active Daily Living health platform is designed for seniors or family members concerned about the physical safety and maneuverability of an aging loved one, helping people deal with the functional limitations many face.

The site provides useful, practical information on caregiving, how to help older adults remain independent and age in place safely within the comfort of home, and how to navigate their health care. Interactive modules and videos also offer no-cost or low-cost tips developed by experts on aging to address functional and environmental challenges.

The Active Daily Living platform also offers Senior Health and Family Caregiver Newsletters, which can be personalized to each subscriber’s health interests, and a Careguide Library featuring new articles each month on everything from home care to mental health.

Director of Home and Community Services Joseph Strickland said “We are always looking for new ways to help people improve the quality of their lives as they grow older. We feel that this unique, online resource will help people of any age needing care and support, as well as their families and caregivers do exactly that. The platform is a much-needed gateway to a wide variety of practical and useful health information.  We are proud to be the first to offer it in our community.”
