Program aims to help more seniors stay in their home longer continued from p.23 Flynn noted an active lifestyle is an important part of living healthily. "Acclaim Health is a trusted brand. When seniors, and really anybody, comes into contact with Acclaim Health, really positive things happen," said Flynn. "Grant review teams, who are ordinary people in the community, they take a look at the applications that come in for these grants and they pick out the ones they think are going to do their community the most good. When you receive a Trillium Foundation grant, what it is saying is that the community wants you to do more of this. The community thinks this is a good idea." Those present also heard from two seniors who have participated in the program. Mary Langridge, 89, of Burlington said the program has given back her mobility. "Over the last number of years, my mobility has declined and I was fearful of falling even in my own home," said Langridge. "I did exercises faithfully every day... I've gained my mobility back and my friends and family are amazed at the change and that I am now walking with a cane instead of a walker. I feel so much more confident now." Marg Bennett, 90, of Burlington said the exercises have helped restore her balance, which is important at a time when a fall can have serious consequences. 25 | Thursday, October 20, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Acclaim Health is a trusted brand.
