Gerontology Sessions
​Gerontology-based sessions take away the stress, confusion and frustration experienced by anyone trying to navigate and manage age-related challenges but are unsure of what to do and where to begin.
Two types of sessions are available in a variety of convenient and flexible formats depending on the needs of the clients. No referral or long-term commitment is required. If family is accessing services, the older adult does not have to be present during a session.
-
One-on-one Sessions allow clients to have dedicated time with a Gerontologist who has experience working with older adults and specialized knowledge of aging resources.
-
Working Sessions are time blocks dedicated to completing age-related tasks or activities on behalf of clients.
​
One-on-One Sessions
These sessions are suited for clients looking for the expertise and guidance of a Gerontology professional who can help them to manage and navigate any issues and challenges they are facing. These sessions give clients a comprehensive view of where they are along their aging journey, and help them to figure out where they want to be, and how to get there. ​
