“A ship is safe at shore, but that is not what it was built for.” –Albert Einstein

Does preoccupation with safety hurt quality-of-life? Are we so safe that we’re ineffective? Families, health care providers, clients, and yes, even we, wrestle with when and how:

  • to accommodate a challenge AND keep doing what makes us tick
  • to assist and keep ‘what matters’ most’
  • to acquiesce to significant challenges, accept ‘help’ AND preserve meaning and relevance

Join Pat as she presents how to help clients to ‘thrive in place’ for as long as possible. Translation: Nudge health-brain-strength+play spans closer to lifespans.
