WELCOME TO AGING CONCEPTS

Mission Statement:  Aging Concepts is dedicated to sharing ideas and research on aging positively and spiritual/inner growth.  Aging Concepts is also committed to providing resource information and referrals to people who are dealing with aging and aging issues.  Our goal is to provide education, insight and information into the various issues surrounding seniors and their families.  We believe we can add the “human element” to answer your aging concerns or those of your loved ones.

To help you in your search for information about various aging issues, we have the following suggestions for general assistance on a national or state level.  Find your area of interest on the index page and click on it.  Each topic will have some general information about the subject and hyperlinks to other resources, if appropriate.  Our suggestion is to check out the general information on our site and then for specific information for your area, contact your local senior resources – Senior Center, Area Agency on Aging or other social service agency.  If you live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, IL, click on the Palatine, IL information page.  Check back with us often, as our intention is to keep updating our information and adding new features.

One word of caution, if you are leaving Aging Concepts on an external hyperlink, Aging Concepts cannot attest to the accuracy of the information provided by the linked sites.  Also, the link does not constitute an endorsement of the site.  While we have tried to screen the links for content and availability, they can change since we checked them out.  We have tried to avoid putting in links that are primarily commercial and not informational.  We will continue to monitor our hyperlinks and add new ones in the future or remove outdated ones.  We have also made notes or suggestions about certain hyperlinks depending on our experience with them. 

There is a Board called “Ask Nancy” for posting your questions and your thoughts.  It will be reviewed regularly and we will try to answer the most frequently asked questions and respond to your thoughts on the Board or in “The Lion’s Roar” column.  “The Lion’s Roar” column will contain commentary which will cover Nancy’s personal thinking on a variety of subjects and reflect her insights and thoughts as she observes her own aging process and the world around her.
