She produced her first video, Fall Prevention for Seniors: How To Stay Safe and Independent in Your Home, in response to the growing problem of falls among the senior population. Her first book, Aging in America: One Healthcare Workers Perspective, was written to assist seniors, their families, and the people who care for seniors.

Mrs. Schlenker also spends part of her time educating caregivers, seniors, and family about this important topic and continues to make home visits.
