Purchases Seniors Should Take Advantage of for Cyber Monday For many individuals, Thanksgiving isn’t complete until they’ve done their Black Friday shopping.

Inspirational Quotes About Aging for Seniors

November 16, 2023 Aging for seniors

Inspirational Quotes About Aging for Seniors Too often, we view aging with a negative lens. As one considers aging into older adulthood, it is common for one to imagine a frail individual instead of thinking of all the joys that come with aging. The same goes for many seniors themselves as they grow older. Even if they don’t feel old yet, they know it’s coming, and they’re dreading their lost youth. This, however, is a toxic—and frankly incorrect—view to have. We only live one life, and aging is a beautiful […]

Zodiac Compatibility in Senior Relationships Romance as an older adult looks quite different from how it may have looked in your younger years—especially if you’re exploring new romance.

Best Foods to Eat for Seniors with a Cold

November 9, 2023 Senior living at home

While fall brings beautiful foliage and crisp weather, it also brings something far less desirable: cold and flu season. We all do our best to avoid catching anything, but it’s almost inevitable to feel under the weather for a few days in the colder months of the year. While colds can be miserable for just about anyone, they can be especially detrimental to seniors. As we age, our immune systems become less efficient at fighting infections of any kind. When you do fall ill, it’s important you supply yourself with […]

Tips for Seniors Adjusting to Daylight Savings

November 2, 2023
