Trish spoke to the group about Vertigo and how to manage it and how the condition manifests itself and coping mechanisms to live with it. She also spoke about Tinnitus and the importance of regular exercise as we grow older - in particular, resistance exercises to build muscle strength.
Age Friendly Roscrea have placed notices on the counters of local hardware businesses with a proposed standard they hope tradespeople will follow when engaging with older people.
