I have been working with seniors for a large portion of my life, in one way or another. As young girls, my sisters and I used to sing in harmony at seniors’ nursing homes (and loved it). I volunteered at a nearby hospital, specifically in the geriatrics wing, where I was unfortunately ‘let go’ because I talked too much to the patients (apparently this was a bad thing). Of course now, I publish S&G, and part of my work consists of listening to seniors, and doing a lot of research on what their needs and interests are. One of the major issues in their lives, they say, is the lack of resources available: Whether they need to find help within their home, or help with care of a loved one. This is a large portion of why S&G was created, and why it’s always been available for free. As our readers age, and as we bring in new readers, they have more and more access to the internet. This is why we are revamping our website and adding a new “Seniors Helpers” section: To grow access to these needed resources in one complete area. My request is, that if you offer assistance to seniors living in their homes, or you know of someone who does, take a look at page 26 and please pass it on... Collaboration will make this resource much more accessible to everyone! I hope you enjoy this spring issue as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together for you. PS: Please #SkipThePlasticStraw. You don’t need it. Suzanne Soto-Davies Founder & Publisher, Silver and Gold Magazine [email protected] Are you on Facebook? Hey guess what – so are we!
