Choosing the right life plan community for yourself or a loved one can be challenging. With so many factors to consider — location, amenities, services, and reputation — it’s essential to be well informed to make the best choice possible.

Best Types of Exercise for Older Adults

Staying active is an important part of taking care of your overall health and well-being as you age. Regular exercise helps seniors maintain a healthy weight, stave off disease and injury, and guard against cognitive decline. Physical activity can also serve as a protective factor for mental health and provide an opportunity to socialize.

Common Mental Health Issues for Seniors

Although recent years have seen a marked positive shift in terms of mental health awareness and public attitudes toward mental illness, mental health issues in older adults are still all too often overlooked, undiagnosed, or seen as taboo by some people. And for individuals in this position, deteriorating mental health can have serious consequences on their physical health and general well-being. Here, we’ll discuss some of the most common mental health issues that seniors deal with, their impact, and how older individuals can take steps to protect their mental health.

Fall Prevention for Seniors

Falls pose a major health hazard for older adults. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), one out of four (or 25%) of older adults experience a fall each year. Often, seniors who fall experience serious—or even deadly—consequences. Around 3 million seniors go to the emergency room each year for fall-related injuries (such as head trauma or broken bones). Falls are also responsible for more than 32,000 deaths among older adults annually. In total, falls represent the main cause of serious injury among older adults.

Fortunately, falls can be prevented through a combination of lifestyle changes and home modifications. Here, we’ll discuss the factors that contribute to falls, go over some fall prevention tips, and discuss other steps you can take to keep yourself or your loved ones safe.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, knowing more about your options, including memory care, can help you plan for the future. Here, we’ll go over some of the basics of memory care, what to expect, and how to know when to make the transition to memory care.
