This is a big year for me. Seniority Matters celebrates its' fifth year, and I am turning 60. Which got me thinking about a facelift. For the website, naturally.

How do you know if your parents need help? Sometimes it's very obvious-- and can begin with a dire medical event such as stroke or fall. For others it's a more lengthy but clear downward path that may be as a result of an early diagnosis of cognitive impairement. And for many it's not clear and we don't often recognize more subtle signs, and don't recognize that a few seemingly scattered minor events may be related and a sign that the need for assistance or at least recognition may be imminent.

There's no doubt that while caregiving is a loving responsibility, it can also be incredibly stressful and isolating. That's why t's so important that caregivers take both mental and physical breaks as often as possible.

There’s no shortage of gourmet meal delivery services to choose from – they seem to be the new, new thing. But luckily for us, there’s one serving our south Florida area that is exclusively intended for older individuals and it’s called Martha’s Senior Gourmet. I think it’s a brilliant concept – for three reasons.

Some type of daily exercise routine is so important for our physical as well as emotional well-being. When creating a care-plan I always encourage my clients to be sure to plan for access to physical activity during the day. The issues to be sure to address in an exercise routine include flexibility and strength building. Focusing on these will help to keep you or your loved one safer from falls, help to prevent osteoporosis, and support agility, which diminishes as we age. If you or your loved one are not interested in going to the gym to get your daily exercise, or

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the dilemma of finding great gifts for loved ones and friends. It can be especially challenging to find something special for an older family member or friend who may have everything they need, or think they do. You may shy away from technology oriented gifts, but older people are often more tech-savvy, and tech appreciative than we might think. Opening the world of technology to an older pe

Forget everything you know – or experienced – about living with roommates. Times have changed. It’s a new world and Senior Homeshares— the innovative online housemate service designed for older adults – has embraced it.

I was thrilled to be used as a resource for a recent article by Ana Veciana-Suarez in the Miami Herald on the impact of technology on us as we age. The article, aptly titled "Technology Will Change How And Where We Age, stresses the importance of staying connected.
Thanks Ana!
If you missed it, take a look. You'll be glad you did.

When author and editor Lorraine C. Ladish turned 50, her friends congratulated – and consoled - her. But when someone tried to comfort her with the oft-repeated phrase “Don’t worry, 50 is the new 30,” she took offense.
