People in the United States are living longer than ever before.  At the same time, the post-WWII “baby boomers” are now approaching retirement age.  By the year 2030, one in five Americans will be older than 65 years of age.

If you or your parents are approaching retirement, it is important to be aware of some of the issues that seniors face and learn how to deal with these issues.  Some of the common issues that seniors face are:

• Health Concerns
• Financial issues
• Depression
• Loneliness

Fortunately, Naperville has a wonderful group called the Naperville Senior Task Force.  Along with the Naperville-Lisle Triad, they are presenting the 2015 Conference September 18, 2015 called “Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.” This conference will have over 35 organizations representing healthcare, safety and legal services for seniors.  The admission is free, lunch is free and prizes will be given away.  What a great opportunity to learn more about issues seniors face and how to deal with them, as well as to have fun.

Below is the link to a flyer with more information:

Of course, Dr. Rebeck is available to speak with seniors and their families on some of the issues you may be having.
