I would like to put emphasis on the word “elderly” since I don’t think seniors would have any use for basic computer tips. Nonetheless, I have been receiving several requests from elderly groups trying to get me to teach them basic computer usage and how to deal with “first time” confusion and whatnot hence this post. Fortunate are those who have patient grandkids to teach them how. Some of the [...]

It’s been a while since I last posted about seniors falling to fraudulent schemes. It’s a given fact that seniors are the usual targets of scams and personally, I take offense on that. I only take refuge in the fact that maybe these unscrupulous people who are after a senior believe we have money hidden somewhere and not because we are gullible human beings—easy enough to handle. I still believe [...]

Sometimes, caring for an elderly adult tends to get tougher each day hence the need to hire for an in-home help. While the most preferred caregiver is still you or anyone within the senior’s close family circle, we all know how tough it could get juggling your life and caring for a frail, ailing senior especially if a progressive disease is present. Sending them to an assisted living facility can [...]

We’ve seen daughters and sons, and even spouses of concerned parties undergo certain life-changing adjustments just to cater to their elderly, ailing parents. Some are even known to go back and forth from their homes to their parents’ just to make sure everything is under control and their parents are getting enough care and attention. Others simply move their parents into their homes in order to care for the senior [...]

Little do we know that retirement can negatively affect one’s marriage. For those nearing their retirement years, we actually look forward to many days of togetherness that was once impossible. Truth is, retirement can even cause stress to an otherwise healthy and peaceful marriage. Some even considered retirement as a test to one’s marriage. According to studies made to married seniors, those who have retired at the same time had [...]

While we still feel the strong urge to hold on to traditional ways of dating, somehow these new and convenient ones keep on luring us to give them a try. Most of the time, we did give it a chance and next thing we know, we’re addicted to them! That’s because they are really fun to do—even double the fun of having to do it physically during the “meet-and-greet” phase! [...]

Exercising is truly a fun activity to do. Aside from that, it has many great benefits for the body. For one, it helps the body relieve itself of harmful toxins trapped inside by way of sweating. In terms of digestion, I find that it keeps constipation at bay and for some reason, it aids in everyday bowel movement which is a great news for many seniors who have been having [...]

Organizing a theme party is fun and exciting since it involves creativity and resourcefulness. Theme parties are almost always associated with dressing up and just having pure fun and nothing else. With theme parties, one is allowed to go as crazy as can be without hurting your reputation afterwards. This is the perfect opportunity to socialize, at the same time satisfy that inner urge to be a child again; like [...]

Marriage must be one of those things that cannot be hindered by age. Marriage is an ageless affair and it can be enjoyed by men and women regardless of age, the same way one can feel discontented or trapped in a loveless marriage, except of course if you are still below the marrying age. Let’s just assume that everyone who happens to be reading this material is old enough to [...]

Unfortunately, growing old means change of eating habits too since the body no longer possesses the flexibility and adaptability it once had. For one, due to everyday wear and tear, your digestive system must be having a difficult time now processing the food you eat. This would mean foregoing those sinfully delicious foods and beverages you’ve grown to love. To make matters worse, this seems to be not a choice [...]
