Most people at or near retirement age will say they want to remain at home as long as possible. That means not going to a seniors’ home of any kind “with all those old people”. It sounds fine to plan on staying at home forever when one is 65 or so and in reasonably good health. But of course, aging takes its toll. Over time, when the person is in their 80s, aging in place can become an unrealistic choice. What We Deny No one wants to admit that we are losing independence. Research tells us that at least a third of us are going to need help of some kind as we age, particularly over age 85…

As you and I are well aware, positive aging flies in the face of conventional wisdom and omnipresent stereotypes, which paint old age as a pitiful one-way path consisting only of suffering, senility, decline, disability, decrepitude, and ultimately, death.If that’s what you believe, you’re right!If you believe old age comes with positive benefits t…
