Local Professionals Work To Meet Changing Senior Needs

Bob and Colleen Smart with Daybreak Moving Solutions for Seniors completed a comprehensive course on priority senior issues on December 15, 2008. The course is conducted by the Canadian Academy of Senior Advisors, the Canadian licensee of the Society of Certified Senior Advisors, an International organization that has trained over 19,000 professionals in North America.

Successful participants complete a thorough examination to earn the Certified Senior Advisor, CSA™ designation. Bob and Colleen have taken this educational initiative to become professional leaders in meeting the key needs and issues concerning seniors.

Professionals who serve the needs of seniors require a broad spectrum of information. Whether financial, medical or social, senior concerns are different from other age groups. The Canadian Academy of Senior Advisors helps professionals stay abreast of all these issues by providing education, monthly updates, support and marketing assistance regarding new developments, best practices and current research about seniors in Canada.

In Canada, seniors (age 65 and older) number almost four million and will continue to rapidly increase, leading a shift in population distribution by age never before seen. This demographic shift requires an educated response in how professionals work with the challenges and opportunities seniors face.

As Certified Senior Advisors, Bob and Colleen Smart will participate annually in continuing education provided by the Academy. The CSA membership will ensure that Bob and Colleen remain informed professionals for seniors.
