Challenges of Aging

Choose one of the potential wellness-related problems or challenges of growing older—arthritis, hearing loss, Alzheimer’s disease, decrease in income, the need for assisted living, and so on; if possible, choose one that has affected a member of your family or someone you know. Use the sites on the Aging links page or do a search to identify strategies for both preventing the problem and coping with the problem if it does occur. (Coping strategies can apply to either the affected person or to her or his caregivers.)
