The famous American publisher Katherine Meyer Graham had it right when she said, “No one can avoid aging, but aging productively is something else.” She recognized that our senior years are not a time to merely sit back and pass the time, but are instead a time to thrive. Retirement communities across the country are changing the way we think about senior living, recognizing that we have the power to change lives by helping seniors live more active and productive lifestyles — ultimately creating a stronger sense of fulfillment.
