Independence & Safety through Hearing and Vision Support: Foundations of Brain Resilience

There are several aspects to aging safely in place. The aging body experiences physical changes that we are all probably aware of! There are also more subtle, but very important changes that affect our vision and our hearing. Limitations in hearing, vision, or both can limit our brain's ability to function at its highest level. This session shares how to take care of your vision and hearing, discuss some not so obvious changes with and offer solutions to help you age in place with dignity and grace. This session serves as part of our 2026 focus on Foundations of Brain Resilience, drawing on current research and practical guidance to help make movement feel approachable, meaningful, and achievable. CEP Community Live is a supportive space that offers weekly informative videos and discussions for those with early-stage memory loss, also known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), their care partners and families, and clinicians. MCI is a condition characterized by a noticeable decline in memory and cognitive abilities that is greater than what would be considered normal for a person's age but not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life activities. It is a transitional stage between normal age-related cognitive changes and more serious cognitive impairment, such as dementia. CEP Community Live is supported by the Harriet and Charlie Shaffer Cognitive Empowerment Program. Through a unique research partnership with Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Cognitive Empowerment program is a research program designed to co-create a sustainable learning community that promotes joy, purpose, brain health, and wellness through innovation and personalized lifestyle programs, technologies, and physical environments. Our vision is to empower people facing memory loss and cognitive changes by creating an evidence-based model for lifestyle interventions that can be replicated nationally and internationally. Our programming includes cognitive training, physical training, nutrition, support groups, and a host of other topics to increase their sense of empowerment and community and hopefully decrease their symptoms.
