- Consumer Affairs Adjustable Bed Guide reviews the pros and cons of a wide range of adjustable bed frames and mattresses.
- Fall Prevention – no, this is not about delaying autumn and living in an endless summer, although that is a lovely idea! It’s a National Council on Aging webpage with links to videos and other resources that train senior citizens – and their caregivers – in how to avoid falls, how to get over your fear of falling, and how to build your strength and balance so you’re less likely to fall.
- Military Veteran Benefits for Seniors. This site is regularly updated with news about all sorts of benefits for military veterans.
- Making the Move to Assisted Living. “Is it time to make the move?” is just one of the many questions this site discusses. It also sorts out the costs, explains the different kinds of facilities and care options, and talks about relying on your gut instincts.
