Coming of Age at the Focal Point - Softcover

In Coming of Age at the Focal Point, author Althia Ellis reveals the challenges that older adults from different backgrounds face that can potentially compromise their quality of life, and offers solutions to help them prepare for and adapt to a changing lifestyle that can make them feel healthy, fulfilled, independent, and valued. Joining a senior center or participating in other programs in their community is a great way for older adults to help improve their social, physical, emotional, and spiritual lives. Likewise, those who prepare as aggressively for their transportation security as they do for their financial security during retirement, stand a better chance of reaping the value of independence. Althia encourages you to accept help from people you trust and who care about your well-being, but more importantly, realize that you hold the key to a life of social, emotional, physical and spiritual health; independence; and dignity.
