Elderly Sex? Does it ever end?

"There's a popular perception that older people aren't as interested in sex as younger people," said Stacy Tessler Lindau of the University of Chicago who led a study of more than 3,000 U.S. adults ages 57 to 85, published in August by the New England Journal of Medicine. 

The study found that between 50% and 75% of those studied remain sexually active. 

Holy Smokes! The study also found a close link between sex and health, with healthier people reporting the highest rates of sexual activity. 

The Glenridge is totally dedicated to keeping all of us retirees healthy and active. What a stroke of luck that we ended up here. 

Who would have thought? Most of these wonderful, healthy, oldsters are enjoying a healthy, vibrant sex life ... and nobody talks about it. I guess that's the way we were brought up. 

Thanks to all the fitness options and the focus on healthy eating we not only can expect to live longer, but with this discovery, it seems we'll enjoy our later years even more. 

More later,

Retirement in a CCRC. Peace of mind for your life.

Retirement is an incredible adventure. In our recent move to a CCRC (Continuing care retirement community) we discovered America's First Life Fulfilling Community. Everyone here agrees that it's one of the best places to retire to. 

This blog is about retirement, retirement living, senior housing and healthcare for the young and elderly retiree. We'll tell you some secrets it's taken us 15 years of retirement to discover. You'll learn about independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care. 

You'll learn that lifetime learning and discovery can make the elderly feel young again. 

We'll share some funny retirement poems because humor makes retirement life delightful. We'll give you the real dope on elderly sex. 

We'll show you how a CCRC can make you worry free about healthcare expenses because it offers the most complete nursing care plans. 

We'll introduce you to one of the world's friendliest retirement communities and the people that make it so friendly.  

Thanks for your interest,

Ken Johnston
