Aged in Vermont
“Old age ain’t no place for sissies,” Bette Davis said. Well, sissies or not, we’re all headed for that place. And the better we know the geography, the easier it will be to navigate.
“Aged in Vermont” is a blog on aging issues, organized by Westminster Cares. We’re asking local professionals and residents with an interest in these issues to write them.
The articles are not just reading material for the “aged.” Young, old and middle-aged readers – anyone with an elderly parent, relative or friend, or who just wants to learn about these important issues that affect us all – is invited to take a look. Remember: “It’s not how old you are; it’s how you are old.”
We address such topics as losing a pet, sleeping problems, supplements, advanced directives and creativity. We explore questions such as should I move to town? and decision making: whose life is this anyway?
Be sure to check out all the past articles - see the archive in the upper right corner. Time is passing, but the topics and information are still applicable. Select a year, then select a month, and click on the article you want to view.
