AGES - SENIOR
Adults with cognitive, intellectual, and developmental disabilities
are living longer, healthier lives than at any time in the past. With
the increase in life expectancy, seniors with a disability can expect
to experience many of the same health concerns as the older population,
in general, including, at least one major physical impairment (visual,
hearing, or orthopedic problems) or chronic health problems (heart disease,
hypertension, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, or arthritis).
EduCare of Texas is leading the way with programs and services that
are designed to support seniors aging with life-long cognitive, intellectual,
and developmental disabilities. These programs focus on health-related
issues, while providing social interaction and community involvement.
