Health and Wellness Focus
Free Health Screenings
One of the highlights of the Senior Expo is the opportunity to get free health screenings. We’re talking blood pressure checks, vision tests, and even hearing screenings. It’s a really convenient way to check in on your health without having to schedule a separate appointment. I always tell my mom, “Prevention is better than cure!” And these screenings can really help catch things early.
Wellness Workshops and Seminars
Throughout the day, you can attend various wellness workshops and seminars. They’ll cover topics like healthy eating, fall prevention (super important!), and stress management. Rumor has it there may be a speaker on mindfulness, which I’ve heard amazing things about. I’m not sure about the full schedule, but keep an eye out for the final lineup – it should be posted at the event.
Fitness Demonstrations
Want to get moving? There will be fitness demonstrations, including chair yoga and Tai Chi, which are perfect for seniors. It’s a gentle way to stay active and improve flexibility. I always thought Tai Chi looked so graceful. Maybe I’ll try it myself sometime!

I think it’s really helpful to have all that information in one place.
Financial and Legal Advice
Worried about retirement planning or estate planning? Professionals will be on hand to offer financial and legal advice. They can answer your questions about things like wills, trusts, and long-term care insurance. I know these topics can feel overwhelming, so having someone to guide you is a huge help.
