Educational Materials

AgeAlert Mental Alertness and Wellness Training Program

One of the most common concerns of older adults today is how to stay mentally alert. Now PGCSC has responded by publishing AgeAlert, a new mental alertness and wellness educational program for seniors.

The program covers heart rate, breathing, realistic exercises, food and nutrition, improving sleep, coping with stress, talking with doctors, medical rights and responsibilities, coping with the blues and depression, mental exercises, preventing falls, and steps for changing habits.

PGCSC can present this program for a reasonable fee. In addition, the 245 page AgeAlert manual is available for purchase.
