Ah, the holidays: they’re the most wonderful time of the year, or perhaps the most challenging. For a lot of older adults who have lost loved ones, are struggling with chronic health issues, or are suffering from isolation and senior loneliness, the holidays can trigger depression.

The old adage, “An elephant never forgets,” is true: elephants really do have incredible memories, even into their old age. For example, they can recall and go back to very specific places decades after visiting them, irrespective of age. So what can we glean from elephants which may result in increasing our own brain performance […]
Sleeping problems, not enough appetite, and fatigue are common concerns in one’s older years. And frequently, they’re written off as just that. Yet for nearly 8 million seniors over age 65, these signs and symptoms are indicative of something more than normal aging – they’re signs and symptoms of mental illness. And just a small […]
Currently about 10% of the over-65 population, around 5.7 million seniors, are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease—and that number is anticipated to escalate to as many as 14 million by the year 2050.

That is, until research recently suggested a possible link […]
Research scientists are shedding new light on treatments to potentially impact Alzheimer’s disease: light therapy. Effects of light are only just starting to be tapped into, and already are showing some notable and promising results. For instance, MIT analysts are assessing a form of flickering light therapy, in which the visual cortex of mice is […]
Because seniors are typically engaged in fewer strenuous activities than when they were younger, it may seem counterintuitive to worry about dehydration. But in actuality, due in part to the normal aging process, as many as 31% of seniors are diagnosed with dehydration—especially when living in warm places like Orange County. Also, the advantages to […]
