Aging Successfully

An enjoyable lifestyle and a positive attitude are considered to be two important ingredients for aging successfully. The following articles by Nancy Carman, MA, CMC, a Gerontologist and certified Geriatric Care Manager, will give you more detailed information about some of the other hot topics today's seniors and their families are interested in.

For example, one important question retirees often face is, "Where do I want to retire?"

Today's active retirees have many living options, from remaining in the family home to moving clear across the country.

If you're considering moving to a much-loved family vacation spot or a well-known retirement location, you would do well to "test the waters" by renting in the area for a full year in order to experience the seasonal weather changes. Get to know local residents, especially ones who have moved from other states. Check distances to shopping, health care centers, airports and all that is important to making your retirement enjoyable.

You may even want to consider subscribing to "Where to Retire" magazine at www.wheretoretire.com to learn more about popular retirement locations where the "friendliness factor" is high and the cost of living is low.
