October 25 Physical Wellbeing for Older Adults
Oak Park Arms, 408 S. Oak Park Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302
As we age, we seem to get more aches and pains and have an increased risk of falling or physically recovering from other injuries. Physical therapist Dan Lankenau and occupational therapist Sarah Zera will engage us in learning about building strength and flexibility to improve balance and prevent falls. They will also help us learn ways to get up after a fall and how to recover from injuries or setbacks.
Arbor West Neighbors
Arbor West Neighbors (AWN) is a grassroots organization of neighbors in Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park and Austin connected to support and enrich aging through community building and advocacy. Our mission is to empower adults to thrive as we age in community.
Our vision is to build a multi-ethnic, multicultural community where all older adults are valued, age with dignity, and enjoy opportunities for growth and engagement.
We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 organization with over 120 members.
