How are your elders navigating their daily lives? Regardless of the age of elders, the façade of living a serene life and the illusion of reality that may play out during the holidays; there are a few…

As the cold and flu season starts again, there are always conflicting views on what to do about your health as it relates to getting sick and who are the culprits this year.

Elders: Evaluating their Life One Day at a Time
