10:30 am: February Support - Family Caregiver Support Program - Zoom only!


February 5, 2025

Zoom only this month! The Senior Center is undergoing renovations.

Larimer County Office on Aging

The Family Caregiver Support Program is part of The Larimer County Office on Aging (LCOA) which is the Area Agency on Aging for Larimer County. The LCOA serves adults 60 and beyond, adults living with a disability, and caregivers. LCOA plays a unique role not only to provide direct services and fund community partners, but to innovate and advocate to meet the growing needs of the community.

During this presentation you will specifically learn about some of the services provided by the Family Caregiver Support Program including our Respite and Grand Family Respite Vouchers, Caregiver Consultations, and free Evidenced-based classes (Stress Busting and Powerful Tools for Caregivers).

Dani Martin: I have worked with older adults for 8 years with a degree in Therapeutic Recreation. I spent 4 years as an Activity Director at a nursing home and the last 4 years in this role at the Office on Aging. I have experience working with kids and adults with intellectual disabilities as well as older adults with chronic illnesses. I am a Colorado native and enjoy spending my free time with my husband, 11 month old son and our chocolate lab, Jax!

Mark Sleeter: I have been a professional Social Worker for 29 years and hold a Clinical License in Social Work (LCSW). I have worked in various settings including mental health, skilled nursing facilities, and hospice. Prior to joining the Office on Aging I worked for 10 years as a Medical Social Worker in hospice, serving those in the community that had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. I also served as a Bereavement Counselor providing individual and group grief counseling. On a personal note, I was a family caregiver to my father-in-law who passed away last year.

9:45 am: Rehabilitative Qigong and Tai Chi for beginners


February 19, 2025

Rehabilitative Qigong and Tai Chi involves simple, easy to learn movements. We will not become frustrated learning a complex choreographed form as is taught in classical Tai Chi. Rather, we will repeat a few basic movements. Through this repetition, we can learn to move with greater ease, confidence, and awareness. And by moving in a relaxed manner, we will begin to experience a state of healing. Also, the benefits of self massage, coordinating and deepening the breath, and meditation will be explored. Some benefits of this practice include improved balance, strength, coordination, flexibility, thinking, mood and more... These classes are appropriate for anyone with mild to moderate PD. No prior experience necessary.

Facilitator: Gil Wette

I’ve been a practicing physical therapist since 1994. I have worked in my own private practice until recently when I took medical leave. I was diagnosed with PD in 2014 when I was 50 years old. Having experience in Tai Chi, my interest in this practice was revitalized after learning of my condition. Now I’m looking to share in the benefits I have gained from the practice of Rehabilitative Tai Chi and Qigong.
