We all want our ageing loved ones to feel a sense of purpose and drive to get out of bed each morning, but for many ageing individuals it isn't the case. It's common for people to struggle to find meaning as they age, but it's so important we work with them to find meaningful ways they can engage in their own lives and lives of those around them.
In this episode we unpack:
- What is Meaningful Ageing?
- How can I engage my loved one in meaningful activities
- What questions can I ask to help stimulate this discussion
