About
Course Description Independent Aging & Dignity™ is a practical learning course focused on promoting choice, independence, respect, personal dignity, meaningful participation, and quality of life throughout aging. The course examines how families, caregivers, professionals, organizations, and communities can provide appropriate support without unnecessarily taking control away from older adults. Participants will explore dignity-centered communication, personal autonomy, appropriate assistance, safety, social connection, advocacy, family involvement, and the importance of listening to older adults themselves. The central question throughout the course is: How can we provide support while preserving the person’s greatest possible level of independence, choice, and dignity?
