The holidays are often the only time of year when the extended family gets together, and those occasions offer you and your siblings an opportunity to check on your parents well-being and discuss your observations together. Do they seem more forgetful or confused? Are they frailer than the last time you saw them? Have they lost too much weight?

Just last week, my college pals and I reconnected for a reunion over dinner. We picked a restaurant whose menu we knew would please all of our finicky diets. What we didn’t check, however, was the rating of the noise level, which many reviewers now indicate with “noise bomb” icons. This one was off the charts, and even though we are still blessed with good hearing we (and the wait-staff) had to yell to be heard.

Imagine having just the meals you want, prepared just the way you like, without having to do any of the shopping, cooking, or clean-up. Now, imagine having all this in the convenience of your own home. Sounds too good to be true? It's not.

So many seniors live in areas where there is inadequate public transportation, or they need assistance or special accommodation to get from one place to another. The resulting isolation and loneliness can contribute to depression and a decline in vitality.
