AARP Colorado

Please join us Oct. 18 from noon to 1 p.m. to discuss the process of aging and learn how we can enhance the quality of life.

Join us for a free webinar at 12 pm MNT on October 18! Currently in the United States, both men and women are expected to live into their eighties. This represents an increase in life expectancy of thirty years over the past century. The increased longevity is due in part to advances in medical technology, improved hygiene, and development and availability of effective medications. Fabulous news, right? Perhaps. The blessing of a longer life often depends on how we age. Longer is not always better. Please join us to discuss the process of aging and to learn how we can enhance the quality of the lived experience

Resilience—a process that benefits caregivers and care receivers alike.
