"Medical alert systems allow seniors to call for 24/7 help with a push of a button.

"You’ve been working toward this for decades. It’s so close you can almost reach out and touch it. . .the day you walk away from work and into a new season of life called retirement!

To date, the expeditions unveiled Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya, Costa Rica; and Loma Linda, California, as blue zones with the highest rates of living centenarians" (Blue Zones).

"In an ideal world, hospital discharge would take place when both you and your healthcare provider think the time is right.

"If you have wrinkles, you don’t need to be told the skin — the body’s protective outer layer — is susceptible to the effects of aging. For older adults, however, intrinsic and extrinsic changes in the skin make it more prone to disease. In fact, a recent study found that 75.7 percent of adults 70 and older have at least one skin condition requiring treatment either at home (43 percent) or by a physician (57 percent). And 39.1 percent have at least three simultaneously" (AARP). Does your
