My apologies for the length of this message.  The listservs below address
senior's issues.

AGESMART is a forum for exchanging ideas, methods, and information about
incorporating positive and sensible approaches to aging into the lives
of those who are nearing or who have reached that half century mark.
There is a strong social component to this list.
Our objectives are to:

* help participants focus on the positive and productive aspects of
aging

* assist in the improvement of mind, body and spirit as one ages

* encourage constructive, entertaining discussion, advice, information
and anecdotes of interest to participants

* motivate list members to make positive changes in their lives, so that
these changes will have a significant and beneficial effect, whether
physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual or social

We hope dialogue will be entertaining, energizing, and effervescent and
wit and wisdom will be appreciated. We encourage sound, sagacious
suggestions which will help us achieve satisfying middle and fulfilling
senior years.

Anyone prone to thinking she or he is "over the hill" is urged to take
part. Professionals working and interacting with older adults are
welcome to participate and to contribute their suggestions.

An ELDERS list has been set up at St. John's University in New York
developed for the creation of projects, for discussion of social and
political issues, finding new friends and for elders to act as
electronic grandparents and elder mentors.
St. John's University is the home of a series of lists devoted to
education for everyone.

Our membership consists of elders - those over 55 years of age - from a
wide range of backgrounds, but with a common purpose - a place where
knowledgeable people can reach others and where anyone with questions
can write for relevant information.

bringing home health care needs directly to the home, long term care
insurance, concepts of assisted living, life care at home, and where to
