Many seniors, once they’ve reached retirement age, end up finding new vocations as volunteers for charitable causes in their communities.

Deciding to move can be challenging at any age, but even more so when you’re moving into a retirement community.

A Holistic Approach to Healthy Aging for Seniors

“Holistic” is a buzzword we’re hearing a lot these days. It’s used for everything from business strategies to sustainability to wellness and everything in-between.
