Caregivers Experience Old Age Through Xtreme Aging Workshop

This morning the Today Show did a segment on aging in which Matt and Meredith participated in an exercise that simulates what it’s like to live as an elderly person. The exercise was conducted by Vickie Rosebrook of the Mackland Intergenerational Institute that offers Xtreme Aging Training.

Xtreme Aging Training
The Macklin Intergenerational Institute’s Xtreme Aging workshop is interactive and experiential. Participants will be able to identify and challenge common myths about aging, take part in a simulated experience as an Elder, and develop a plan of action to build better relationships with the elderly.
