Recognizing Your Essence: The Elderwise Way

What does it mean to age well? This is a question that Sandy Sabersky has explored in her own life. Then she asked herself, “What does it mean to age well and be living with dementia?” That started her on the path to creating Elderwise, a day program in the Seattle, Washington area. Elderwise focuses on the whole person and helping them to grow inwardly and outwardly. Cognitive loss does not change the essence of the person. In her journey with Elderwise, she has learned much about spirit-centered care and how to bring well-being into people’s lives. That experience has shaped how the day program flows in the Elderwise time zone. If you want to learn more, check out their website, Elderwise.org, or email Sandy at [email protected]. Sandy has also co-written a book, The Elderwise Way.
