We recently had the privilege of speaking about the Foster Grandparent program with Elisa Stutheit with Aging Partners in Lincoln, Nebraska. She offered some in-depth insight about this program designed to provide individuals age 55+ with an opportunity to give back to the community and serve youth in local schools and educational programs.

Evidence shows that most unpaid family caregivers are ill-prepared for their role and provide care with little or no support, yet more than one-third of them continue to provide intense care to others while suffering from poor health themselves.

Life gets busy, and we often find ourselves wanting to get over to check on Mom and Dad as they age, but time goes by and it doesn’t happen.

Real Social Networking for Seniors

2015-03-01T14:05:45-05:00

Social interaction is an important part of healthy living. But is social networking an adequate substitute for the real thing? You have over 1,000 social network friends, fans, or followers. Certainly, you feel like you’re connected to all of these people, but is that real social networking for seniors? Can call on them to help you through good times and bad? Probably not. While we have “friends” or “fans,” the connections don’t exactly represent the same types of relationships we’re designed to have with other human beings.

Many people are trying to [...]
