More Helpful Sources for Seniors


I had my flu shot today, taking advantage of the vaccine's availability to seniors like myself. There have to be a few perks in growing older(chronologically, anyway!)
A large number of my clients are seniors also, and my email today reminded me that October 1-7 is National Aging in Place Week.
Aging in Place refers to the concept of older Americans remaining in their homes for as long as possible, living independently. The goal is to continue living in the housing of one's choice.
The National Aging in Place Council celebrates the week with various events around the country.
Although most seniors prefer this option, it is not always workable for everyone.
SNAPforSeniors is a free, online service that lists the most comprehensive and current information on senior housing options in the U.S. today. For help in finding transitional or permanent placement housing, SNAPforSeniors offers a way to provide current, insightful, and extremely useful information. Whether a family is seeking senior housing placement as a prelude to selling the family home, or is looking to purchase a unit in an independent living community, SNAPforSeniors has all the information you need. There is no charge to use the system, and results can be easily saved or sent to family members.
