A Safe Drive Through the Aging Process
Virtual Program - Saturday, May 18 from 11am-Noon
Presented by Mark Healy from Senior Care Authority
Developed specifically for senior drivers, this 1-hour presentation for your group or organization can best be described as a practical, entertaining and realistic approach to the issue of "senior drivers vs. the aging process". Our presentation takes a direct yet compassionate approach to the very sensitive subject of recognizing that someday it may be time to relinquish some of that treasured driving independence. The ultimate goal is not to take away driving opportunities of older drivers, but rather to offer suggestions on how to recognize and compensate for diminishing skills so that our seniors may remain on the roadways as safe drivers.
Mark has been a physical therapist for 30+ years working specifically with seniors for the last 20+ in a variety of settings. His wife Rachel has a background in medical laboratory science, health insurance, and customer service. With their experience both professionally and personally, they know how to advocate for individuals in the healthcare system. They made the decision to bring Senior Care Authority to the area in order to put those skills together with a company that has the goal of helping families navigate senior living challenges.
Mark graduated from The Ohio State University and received a master's degree from the University of Cincinnati. Rachel graduated from East Tennessee State University with an associate degree in medical laboratory science. They are blessed with 7 adult children and 6 wonderful grandchildren. They enjoy spending time with family, reading, traveling, sports and being present for their grandchildren. They are excited for the opportunity to assist families in making successful transitions in finding the best living situation for their loved ones.
