Aging is the impact of accumulating cellular and molecular damage during a lifetime. This gradual weakness in physical and mental capacity leads to the risk of disease and death. Aging changes our physiological, environmental, dynamic, biological, social, and behavioral processes.

Healthy aging leads to the reduction or delay of undesired aging effects. When we enter old age, our goals should be avoiding disease, maintaining physical and mental health, and maintaining independence. Continuing good health requires more effort as we age. Certain healthy habits, such as regular exercise, eating healthy food, and staying mentally fit, contribute to a better life. These healthy habits must be adopted as early as possible.

The Center for Combating Elder Financial Abuse was founded on February 8, 2021. The Center was created with the vision of reducing elder financial abuse in the United States.

This vision will be accomplished by viewing elder financial abuse from the predators’ perspective. The Center will explain the predators’ tactics and their methods for assessing potential targets. Simply put, a predator must be detected before it can be defeated. Some predators gain access to victims through face-to-face meetings and while other predators hide behind a keyboard or telephone. The tactics depend on who the predator is: 1) a “trusted” financial or legal professional, 2) an overseas telemarketer, 3) a fraudulent guardian, 4) a friend or family member, or 5) any other type of predator.

And while no one can sugarcoat the realities of aging—there are creaks, there are losses—there’s also this rare kind of clarity that shows up. You start asking better questions, like: What makes me feel good in my body? What actually lights me up? What do I want my days to feel like?

Learning to Live Well After the Kids Move Out

The day your last child leaves home isn’t loud. It’s not a dramatic turning point or a TV-movie montage with hugs and tears. It’s usually quieter than you expect — a car pulling out of the driveway, a bedroom that stays clean, a dinner table that suddenly feels too big. And just like that, the job that’s defined your days, your decisions, your calendar, and your sense of purpose for years is over. Parenting never really ends, but the daily structure it gave your life does — and that can leave you unsure what to do with the hours that used to be filled by everyone else’s needs.
