Engaging While AGING addresses important considerations and transitions that older adults need to be prepared for, and baby boomers should begin considering, assuming they have not already done so. I begin this book with a look at the affects of aging, ways to age well and how to minimize safety risks. Knowing that older adults and people with chronic and life-threatening illnesses are likely to encounter many important and difficult decisions, I address the issues they are likely to face, explain the common concerns, explain the various options that might be available and offer advice to help people avoid surprises.
