  As a somewhat isolated senior, the Center’s programs opened a door for me to socialize in a safe, learning environment. The three group programs dealing with balance, avoiding falls, and general strengthening of under used muscles, have all helped to (literally) build a strong foundation for me to live a healthier, stronger, and safer life. Being part of a group made me more likely to “show up” and less likely to be a slacker. I’ve met so many wonderful people as well as talented trainers and volunteers. There is a sense of “family” in the groups and being together is as much fun as it is fun. I have also had the opportunity to have my medications reviewed by an outstanding pharmacist who viewed me as a whole person including OTC medications and supplements. I was able to share her written recommendations with my doctors and all agreed with her advice. At the end of the day, I am so grateful the Sanford Center on Aging has such great programs. They have helped me so much and I’m pleasantly surprised to discover how I am strong enough, now, to regain my balance (where I would have fallen a year ago), and can stand up from a low position using just my leg muscles (and not having to hold on to something or pull myself up). The list of surprises goes on. Best of all, the socializing just makes me feel more involved and less isolated. I forgot how nice that feels. Great trainers and volunteers, wonderful educational resources, and safe, healthy environments that make getting and staying healthy and aware such a seamless process. Thank you!
