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.

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

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.
