Episode 7 (Part 1 of 2 series)

AGING IN PLACE is a concept that resonates with so many older adults. While there are alternatives, most people will say “I Want to Stay in My Own Home” and here’s how. AT HOME IN GREENWICH is one of several hundred member organizations nationally that brings vetted services to the member. No, not just for the elderly and infirmed, but also for those active and wanting to stay put and have others do for them what they once did for themselves, or never wanted to do. An outgrowth of the BEACON HILL PROJECT in Boston. “The mission of Beacon Hill Village is to provide information and services, sponsor recreational and educational activities and foster a strong sense of community so that older adults in central Boston neighborhoods can live their lives to the fullest independently in their own homes.” Greenwich, CT was an early adopter of this “village to village” concept. Executive Director, Lise Jameson has years of experience in social services and shares that in this interview series.

TECHNO STRESS - Fight or flight is in all of us and serves a very useful purpose when it kicks in at the right time. What happens when it kicks in and doesn’t stop? Techno Stress is a term that best describes the way we seem to living our lives today. Rather than being the masters of our machines and devices, too often we become their slaves. There are techniques to help manage this dilemma, like better time management. But what happens when you are not the one in control? With insatiable appetite for instant information and response, we often put undue pressure on ourselves and others to the point that it will and does affect our health.
