Aging is not what happens to someone else. It is happening to us, moment-by-moment. It is us, but older. Lucia McBee, Mindfulness-Based Elder Care
Mindfulness-Based Elder Care (MBEC) is for those who are elders, who care for elders or who will be elders. Meditation, mindfulness, yoga, creative therapies, aromatherapy, massage and other holistic modalities have been adapted and found beneficial in healing and wellness for all populations. Mindfulness-Based Elder Care adapts these practices for use with frail elders and their caregivers. Focusing on quality of life as well as quantity of life, MBEC teaches skills that enable continued growth, empowerment and stress reduction based on years of experience.
