What Is an Assisted Living Community?
If you or someone you love is aging into the 70s or 80s, you may be thinking about options for living comfortably later in life. Some move in with relatives, make adjustments to their current homes so that they can live alone in their houses, or weigh the pros and cons of living in an assisted living community. An assisted living community is a community with an integrated service program run by a team of healthcare professionals and other staff, and is intended for elders in the late stages of life. Some of those services typically include exercise or wellness programs, laundry pick-up and drop-off, recreational activities, and medicine management. Some assisted living services are offered in independent neighborhoods, while others are in areas with infrastructure specifically for these services, like near hospitals and existing nursing homes.

The Importance of the Elderly in Society
Human ageing is a multidimensional process of human beings that is heterogeneous, intrinsic, and irreversible; it begins with conception, develops during the course of life and ends with death. It is a complex process of biological and psychological changes of individuals in continuous interaction with the social, economic, cultural, and ecological life of communities, during the course of time.

Now, as you grow older, it’s time to rest and enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

Keeping an Eye on Elder Safety and Health
Putting smart technology to work in your home before you retire is a good idea.

When I Grow Up
For the most part I have enjoyed growing older. The older I get, the older "old" is. When I was a teen, 30 seemed old, 40 was decrepit, and 50... well, 50 was on the brink of death. Now that I'm in the fifth decade of my life, 75 seems "old."
