Resource Center

When planning for yourself or loved ones decades in advance or in times of crisis and health emergencies, we strive to be of assistance, whether for issues of health, medical challenges, living and housing, caregiving, medical care, or even not-so-simply navigating the ever changing health and wellness landscape, both in the USA and globally. Among many other which may be faced, decisions often need to be made and knowledge sought about Assisted Living, Nursing Homes, Aging in Place, and the many health and illness challenges, not to mention insurance coverage, Medicare and Medicaid, and a hundred other variables or factors.

Then of course there are also the vagaries of life that are thrown our way that we never could have or would or even known to have plan for that suddenly have to be addressed.

In the Smart Aging Resource Center, and in many other aspect of work we do and information and dialog we encourage and document as much as reasonably possible, we aim to provide resources that will help people navigate the breathtakingly complex world we live in today.

Included here are guides on:

Health Issues, with information including risks, tips, explanations, prevention tips for patients and caregivers, and some of the most common health issues.

Medical Glossary, including a resource list of common terminology used regarding health issues and medical equipment.

Medical Web Sites, with some great source of information for you to use in managing your health care or the health care of a loved one. It can also be good way to locate the support resources you need as a patient or caregiver.

Medicare Guide, to help you understand the Medicare guidelines related to home medical equipment. Most health insurance plans have similar rules to Medicare, but you should know that they will all vary.

Home Modification Guide, to help learn about common accessibility problems in the home and solutions that will improve the safety and quality of life of you or your loved one.
