Working with Older Adults

Older adults represent a rapidly growing population within healthcare settings. Effective care requires understanding age-related physiological changes, mobility challenges, pain presentation differences, fall risk factors, and strategies that promote functional independence and safety. This interdisciplinary continuing education course provides practical, evidence-informed guidance for supporting older adults across clinical, rehabilitation, long-term care, outpatient, and hands-on care settings. Emphasis is placed on safety, dignity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and optimizing quality of life.
