Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging
UNLEASH THE POWER OF AGE
The Shenandoah Area Agency on Aging (SAAA) is a non profit organization that provides high quality services and opportunities that enhance the dignity and independence of seniors and promote their contributions to the community.
Agency services are designed to assist older persons who wish to stay in their own homes, to provide information for seniors and their families, to protect individuals living in long term care residences, and to facilitate staying active and provide community service.

Recently, seniors spent a productive morning at the Elks Lodge in Front Royal. Sheriff Danny McEathron welcomed everyone and the non-stop informative sessions began. Topics included the importance of wills presented by attorney Phillip Griffin and Veterans' Benefits presented by Jeremy Shipp. Also on the program were Ernie Canivale, Executive Director of Blue Ridge Hospice sharing information about their many services. Dr. Dale Schulz spoke about Healthy Aging and Carol King shared information about the Mediterranean Diet and lowering your blood pressure with the DASH diet. The Warren County Sheriff's Department demonstrated the effectiveness of Project Lifesaver - an electronic tracking system to locate someone with dementia who has wandered away.
In between speakers, there were short breaks to visit the informative tables provided by area businesses and organizations. Click here to check out the pictures taken that day.

And, there were so many door prize drawings for wonderful prizes including 3 $50 Gift Cards to Cracker Barrel Restaurant donated by Turner Robertshaw Funeral Home. Boxed lunches, prepared by McAllisters were provided by BestCare Home Care.
The best advice from this year's free TRIAD Event is "Don't Miss Next Year's; it will be even better."
