    Programs for the Elderly

    Fire Safety and the Elderly
    Designed to teach older adults living at home or in a nursing facility how to protect themselves from fire hazards. For groups of 10 or more.

    Remembering When
    A program aimed at teaching older adults how to prevent falls and other emergencies in the home. For groups of 10 or more.

    Pillow Dancing
    Usually used in conjunction with the Remembering When presentation, Pillow Dancing is an innovative fall prevention program that employs an interactive dance routine to help strengthen legs and increase mobility in the elderly. For groups of 5 or more.

    Elder Links
    An MDFR community outreach program that provides intervention to MDFR patients in cases which might qualify as abuse, neglect or exploitation, and also serves as a referral system for patients and their families that might be in need. Through a collaborative effort between MDFR, local hospitals, and other government and community agencies, essential information pertaining to patient welfare is shared through the Elder Links network, effectively extending the scope of assistance beyond incident response operations for the most vulnerable members of our community.  To learn more, visit the Elder Links page.

    For more information, or to schedule, please call 786-331-4920.
