A broad reference for navigating later-life health and planning

Aging Well brings physical health, emotional concerns, and practical planning into one wide-ranging guide to later life. Its coverage extends beyond lifestyle and illness management to retirement, insurance, safety, loss, alternative medicine, and consumer questions affecting older adults. The book also addresses the family dimension of aging, including support for parents and the pressures associated with the “sandwich generation.” Framed as prescriptive guidance, it presents health-strengthening strategies and discusses research and possible therapies alongside everyday decisions. Originally published in 2001, it is best approached as a broad overview of the subjects the authors identify, particularly where health, insurance, or treatment information may have changed.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an overview of later-life health, emotional well-being, and planning topics
  • Family members assisting aging parents
  • People navigating sandwich-generation caregiving responsibilities

Aging Well addresses such increasingly important subjects as:

* Safety risks associated with growing older

* Alternative medicine and the right questions to ask
