Aging Gracefully and Safely

Helping you to age in place

Information, safety tips, and many resources that will help you age in place. Presented by Melysa Foster, LMT Community Relations & Marketing Director at Regina Health Center.

Aging brings changes to us all. As a person begins their aging in place experience, it is important for them to consider a plan for the changes that will happen to them and what impacts these changes will have on their lives and those who care for them. These changes happen to most everyone in one form or another. Choosing to have a plan to age in place means you will have a greater chance to control your quality of life and independence.  Planning also presents you with an opportunity to lessen the burden on your family by outlining how and where your needs are met.

About the branch

The library experience for customers of the Richfield Branch Library is eclectic and energizing. A rich collection of books, music and movies complement programs for all ages, including storytime and interactive play opportunities, book discussion, and more. Computers and computer classes, WiFi, printing, copying, scanning, and faxing help to make the Richfield Branch Library a one-stop spot for the community's educational and entertainment needs and interests.

In the community, you will find librarians working closely with Richfield Government and Recreation, the local schools, the Garden Club, Kiwanis, and more. At the library, opportunities for individual and family engagement include an extensive NatureConnect interactive space, an ongoing StoryWalk collaboration along the Carter Pedigo Trail, and other hands-on, participatory exploration opportunities. Every time you visit the Richfield Branch Library, there is something to do, play, study, explore, or observe—and the chance to make a memory.
