SHAPE the Future of Aging is a strategic plan to make Fairfax County a better place to age, for older adults to live safely, independently, and with dignity. SHAPE is an acronym that includes five areas of focus:
  • Services for Older Adults and Family Caregivers
  • Housing and Neighborhood Supports
  • Access to Mobility Options
  • Personal Well-Being
  • Economic Stability and Planning
The SHAPE the Future of Aging plan is aligned with the Fairfax County Strategic Plan and OneFairfax to address the needs of older adults as we plan for the future. The SHAPE the Future of Aging Plan was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in May 2023.
Initiative Development Committees focused on each of the SHAPE categories will be developed and led by the Fairfax Area Commission on Aging in the coming months.

Volunteers Needed for Ongoing Research Study:Home-Based Remote Balance Exercise for People with Dementia orMild Cognitive Impairment and their Care Partners!

7/6/2023

 
People with dementia or mild cognitive impairment fall more than other older adults. Improving balance through exercise can decrease the risk of falls! Marymount University’s Center for Optimal Aging is conducting a research project to see if it is feasible to bring a remote balance training program into the homes of people with dementia and their care partners. Assessments for this
study will be done in your home and remote technology (home computer or tablet and internet connection) will be used to administer the exercise program. Would you like to learn more and determine if you might be eligible? Check out our RECRUITMENT WEBSITE or contact Julie Ries PT PhD at jries@marymount.edu or 703-284-5983.
