Written from the viewpoint of an octogenarian, Well Aged reframes later life as a stage with its own priorities, pleasures and practical challenges. The author blends clear-eyed observation with dry humour to describe what daily life looks like in the eighty-to-one-hundred bracket.

Topics range from choosing between independent living, retirement residences and nursing care to managing personal health, building community ties, and navigating intimacy and companionship in later years. The book also addresses loneliness, depression, spirituality and arranging one’s affairs.

Key topics

• Independence and identity
• Housing and care choices
• Health priorities and community support
• Companionship, spirituality and legacy

Readable and pragmatic, the book offers useful perspective for seniors themselves as well as family members and caregivers seeking a humane, insider view of old age.
