Age well with practical steps and proactive care

Age well with practical steps and proactive care
Posted

Healthy aging is possible for everyone willing to take proactive steps. While genetics play a role, Dr. Heidi Schwarzwald, Chief Medical Officer at Signify Health, says everyday habits, strong support and preventive care make a big difference in your quality of life.

Three key areas can empower you and your loved ones to age on your own terms:

  • Prevent falls: Reduce hazards by securing rugs, improving lighting, checking shoe soles and staying active with exercises like walking or Tai Chi.
  • Manage medications: Keep an updated medication list, understand why you take each medication and talk to your doctor about side effects.
  • Develop a personal health management plan: Work with your PCP to proactively address physical, mental and emotional needs.

Signify Health supports older adults through In-Home Health Evaluations covered by many Medicare Advantage plans — often at no cost if you’re eligible. A clinician visits you at home to review medications, assess your environment, check for fall risks and perform a thorough health exam.

See if you qualify today, visit HelloSignify.com or call 1-855-984-5121 to schedule your evaluation.
