Did you know that there are 300,000 items in the average American home? For older adults, the accumulation of a lifetime of possessions can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and a variety of safety issues. ‘Downsizing In Place’ is a carefully planned approach to sorting through years of treasures prior to an actual move or crisis. It puts the older adult in control of the process. Join Tina Gorman, Westfield Senior Center Executive Director, for an informative two-part workshop series on Wednesdays, April 24 and May 1 from 1 to 2 p.m. She’ll guide participants through a practical step-by-step process for the downsizing journey. There is no charge for participation in the series. Advance registration is necessary because space is limited. For more information or to sign up for the series, please call the Senior Center at 562-6435. The Westfield Senior Center is located at 45 Noble Street.
